“As Owner / Director of Todkill Marine Services I have grown this business from a small family business to one of Southeast Queenslands most preferred Marine Services Specialist, contracting to many of Queensland’s Coastal Councils and Australia’s top ASX Listed Companies.
From a family of well-known Brisbane Mariners, I bring to The Yard Brisbane 50yrs of marine experience ranging from boat building in steel and aluminium fabrication, marine engineering, pile driving, drilling and extraction, wharf construction & maintenance works, marine salvage, vessel towing and a wide variety of structural marine services.
