CHRIS O’Leary has been involved in Warwick in some way his whole life having grown up here and now running his own business.
He now owns and runs Warwick Livestock Equipment. Most of the work is done by himself with the occasional help of his son. It’s a business that spans three generations as he took over the business from his father this year after his retirement.
Originally CG Welding, Chris said, Warwick Livestock Equipment could do just about anything.
“We specialise in stock handling equipment, cattle yards, loading ramps, crushers, horse crushers, horse panels, sheep yard gear all the way to a house yard gate to a shed,” he said.
Being a qualified boiler maker by trade, Chris said he was bit of an all-rounder.
“We can do anything,” he said.
“I’ve been in the rural game for a very long time and for different rural companies across Queensland.”
Chris said that although business wasn’t booming at the moment, things were looking up.
“It’s going pretty good at the moment with cattle prices at the moment locally,” he said.
Having been up and down Queensland for work and travel, Chris said Warwick was the place he wanted to call home.
