Lists as:

With over 30 years of experience as a Key Grip and as the owner of Queensland’s largest grip supply company, I provide a level of expertise and equipment scale that is unmatched in the region.

SCGRIPS is uniquely positioned to facilitate projects ranging from large-scale international features to smaller local productions.

We maintain a comprehensive fleet of trucks equipped with top-tier gear, including telescopic cranes of various sizes, stabilized heads, and both off-road and on-road tracking platforms.

My team consists of the most experienced grips in South East Queensland, all dedicated to the highest standards of professionalism, meticulous planning, and on-set safety. Beyond equipment supply, I frequently consult with major manufacturers on product design and innovation to stay at the forefront of industry technology.
