Successful sale of Glen Cameron Group to global logistics group DHL

Henslow acted as lead M&A corporate advisor to Glen Cameron Group on the divestment to global logistics group DHL. This transaction creates the third pillar in Australian logistics with combined revenue of over $1bn, marking an important milestone for DHL to continue a legacy in the Australian transport industry. This newly found partnership signals a new chapter of growth in the industry and provides DHL with the opportunity to leverage Cameron’s expertise in contract distribution and interstate transport.

The Glen Cameron Group was founded 47 years ago by Glen Cameron and has grown from one 8-tonne tray truck to a national business with over $350m of group revenue, a fleet of over 1,000 trucks and trailers and more than 820 employees and 500 sub-contractors.

"It has been a team effort and the Cameron team has benefited from some wonderful partners who have represented us in a most professional manner. We could never have imagined how difficult selling a business could be and could not have got there without the support of our internal and external teams. Thank you to Scott McInnes and the Henslow team for your assistance and advice over the years, you’ve been sensational."
