A transport giant has jumped on the chance to buy Scott’s assets, while displaced workers from the liquidation are being asked to stay in the cold chain industry
Recent reports are suggesting Lindsay Australia has bought a portfolio of assets from Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics after the latter went into liquidation earlier this month.
This week, The Australian first reported that advisory firm Ankura has helped Lindsay Australia purchase a variety of Scott’s assets.
The portfolio of assets bought by Lindsay Australia includes trucks, containers and rail containers.
The asset purchase comes after Lindsay Australia was initially linked as one of a few large companies circling the fallen company as it went into liquidation.
While this happens, the Refrigerated Warehouse and Transport Association of Australia (RWTA) is advertising the opportunity to attract Scott’s staff.

“As you will be aware, Scott’s went into receivership recently, meaning there are 1500 staff displaced as a result,” the RWTA says.
“It’s important that we can encourage these people to remain in the cold chain industry.”
The RWTA says it has been in contact with KordaMentha (appointed receivers and managers of the companies on February 27) and can confirm they have created a jobs board section on their website for all available job opportunities that have been received by the receivers.
