ABOUT US
Located in the new South Gate East precinct of the
Brisbane Markets, J. H. Leavy & Co. distributes all types
of fruit & vegetables to the major markets in each capital city on
a daily basis. Our customer base through the Brisbane Markets
includes the major chain stores, local independent retailers,
secondary wholesalers, greengrocers and exporters,
all of whom come to the market regularly.
J. H. Leavy & Co. is one of the oldest established fruit and vegetable wholesaling businesses in the Brisbane Markets at Rocklea, and has been trading since the early 1900’s.
The Tighe family purchased the business from Mr Jim Leavy in the early 1970’s and it has been under their successful direction to the present time.

TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT
Our sealed loading docks ensure your produce is kept at the optimum temperature.
From farm gate to climate controlled warehousing to retailer – we make sure you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Our sealed loading docks ensure
our Cold Chain remains intact and
your produce is kept at the optimum
temperature and conditions from the
time it leaves your facility until the time
it arrives at point of sale – no matter
where in the world that might be!
Unload direct to our warehouse and
you’re as close as you can be to
the Brisbane Produce Market, the
State’s most important centre for the
marketing and distribution of fresh
fruit and vegetables. With over 50
wholesalers on our doorstep, as well
as our own national wholesaling
network, we can ensure your product
is ready and waiting to be sold the
instant it is required.
That means your produce remains in
our temperature controlled facility until
it is called for. There is nothing going to
waste and there is nothing more you
need to do.
J. H. Leavy & Co. does it all for you.

Your produce will be ripening under the strictest control in our state-of-the-art ripening rooms.
No matter where your produce is destined for, J. H. Leavy & Co. will get it there on time and in perfect condition. If your buyer wants avocadoes that are ready to eat the day they arrive – or in two days from arrival – we can provide them.
RIPENING AND CONDITIONING
It’s all done via our thorough ripening processes and
complete understanding of transport logistics. Your produce
may have a 2,000 kilometre trip to endure before it reaches
its market. This all takes time and that time is taken into
consideration when planning the overall ripening process.
Your produce is ripened in our state-of-the-art ripening
rooms by just the right amount, and then with travel time
taken into account it arrives in peak condition ready for sale
to the consumer.
Your buyer may want bananas that are just beginning to
ripen, peaches that will give the retailer enough shelf life to
meet requirements and mangoes that are just perfect.
We’ll ensure your produce never over-ripens and arrives
exactly to your buyer’s liking, each and every time.

FAST COOLING
Goods can be held in storage for longer periods and your produce can go to
market when the time is right, ensuring you the best return at all times.
Our world-class high humidity, Humicool® Coldrooms have been constructed
using the latest technologies to give optimum temperature management for all
varieties of fruit and vegetables. This system extends the shelf life of fruit and
vegetables from the time of harvest to the point of purchase through its superior
temperature and humidity control.
Amongst other benefi ts J. H. Leavy & Co. offers you precise control over the
stabilising or ripening of your produce, superior end-result quality, extended post
harvest life and reduced weight loss. Not only do we preserve the just-picked
freshness, we also extend shelf life of your produce to ensure near zero wastage.
Our computer monitored cool room facilities can take the heat out of your produce quickly and control the ripening process to meet your customer’s specifi cations.

Correct warehousing and distribution involves more than simply pick-up and delivery. In today’s business world occupational health and safety, or OHS, plays an enormous role in the success of any operation.
We know the various regulations that govern a broad range of industries including
major chain stores and local independent retailers and we
strictly abide by these.
Ensuring pallets are stacked at the correct heights for safe unloading at the
buyer’s dock is paramount. We organise pallets so that they can be unloaded
correctly and that the height of the cartons never exceeds regulation.
Everything is pre-planned and carefully thought through at J. H. Leavy & Co.
Everything we do we do professionally – it all adds up to a bigger profi t margin for
our producers.
Our sorting and restacking service is another example of the level of service
we offer to our valuable customers.

Just before your produce
leaves our warehouse it is
labelled to indicate the freshest produce available
at point of sale.
TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS LABELLING/BARCODING
J. H. Leavy & Co. can take care of all of your labelling and barcoding to meet your client’s specifi c needs.
Your specifi c labels will contain all of your details and will be attached according
to your particular requirements as part of our stringent quality control standards.
Pallets will be labelled according to destination specifi cations.
From pack-house to warehouse to buyer – it all takes time.
Whilst we can control the ripening of every piece of vegetable
and fruit we handle for you, your buyer and their customers
want to be reassured of their freshness. Our barcoding
and labelling services do exactly this - just before your
produce leaves our warehouse your shipment can be
labelled with the current dispatch date, rather than the
date of harvest, saving you precious days on the life of
your produce.
