WHO WE ARE
LUKE LEWIS
FOUNDER OF LEWIS AUTO HIRELewis Auto Hire is a commercial hire vehicle company that specialises in working with the Mining, Oil & Gas, and Civil Construction industries throughout Australia. We deliver fit-for-purpose hire vehicles to a range of clients in the public and private sectors, from remote sites to central city locations.
Founded in 2012, Lewis Auto Hire is a privately owned family company that provides the capability of a big corporate combined with the versatility, competitive pricing and service of a small business. We supply hire agreements that are flexible and customised, with the capability to scale and adapt our fleet and vehicles to meet the needs of our clients and their projects.
As soon as Luke finished his apprenticeship he was off Mining and no one could stop him. Straight underground for Pybar Mining services in North Parkes he went. Luke quickly moved up the ranks in his first year out of his apprenticeship and showed what he had to offer in terms of being a diligent hard worker.
From there he moved back into an above ground role with a local construction contracting company. After spending 2 years in the role Luke moved over to the wild west chasing the big machines.
Luke founded Lewis & Potter Pty Ltd in 2012 while working in Newman as a Diesel Mechanic for BHP Billiton.
The venture started as a labour-hire company but Luke quickly realised there was a gap in the market for vehicle hire as the big boys of the hire world were charging what they liked and had very little customer service.
Luke started with one flatbed Isuzu truck that he fitted out with welders and one air compressor.
Since then Luke has grown the company and Lewis Auto Hire has vehicles in QLD, WA, NSW and VIC supplying the mining, construction and traffic management industries.
Luke has built the business on 3 key core values.
Respect, Integrity, Honesty,
He believes if you can live by these 3 values day to day and do the small things right in life, the big things will follow.
These 3 core values help to obtain and maintain relationships with clients and staff and are an integral part of Lewis Auto Hire.
Luke has no ambition to be the biggest hire company but only to be the best.
NO AMBITION TO BE THE BIGGEST, DETERMINED TO BE THE BEST
