Who we help
Caring is in our DNA. When Queensland Steel & Sheet (QSS) started more than 40 years ago over a handshake between two friends, our founders had a vision of creating something unique in the steel distribution industry.
A company that puts customers at the heart of the operation and delivers the best products available with a premium level of service. These values still underpin our business today and into the next generation.
As a company we are constantly evolving, exploring cutting edge technologies and processes that can deliver immediate and everyday benefits to our customers.
We are proud to be different. We are proud to say we care and that our customers and staff are treated like family. As one of Australia’s longest running, family owned steel distributors, QSS is where quality steel meets trusted customer service.
Knowledgeable
Our team boasts over 150 years of combined service in the steel industry. This unique level of knowledge and experience ensures we understand what you need to grow and develop your business.
We Care
As a privately owned Australian company, we look after you. We started as a small, family run company and remember how challenging it can be. That’s why we value loyalty and focus on building strong relationships with our customers because we all win when we support each other.
Responsive
Today QSS is a large, diverse company with over 30 staff. But don’t let our size fool you. We still retain the agile and responsive mindset that led to our success. This allows us to make decisions quickly, get answers for you and create solutions that work for your individual business needs.
Our Customer Care Team
Cecily McGuckin
CEO & Managing Director
As the daughter of a steel merchant, I remember spending my school holidays in the warehouse helping my father. It’s fair to say this industry is in my blood. I’ve been around it for as long as I can remember. I’m proud to be the only female CEO leading a steel company in Australia today. But I’m even prouder to be leading this family business into a second generation and continuing the focus on everything that makes this business great – exceptional customer service and high-quality products and at the best price possible.
Before officially joining the QSS team, I worked for over 12 years in retail construction development for several companies, including Suncorp and Mirvac. From these experiences, I’ve brought new ideas and process into the business that our customers are now benefitting from. I’m the mother of three boys and when I’m not in the office or the warehouse you’ll find me enjoying time with them and my husband.
Scott Sturgess
Sales Manager
For nearly 15 years, Scott has been at the heart of QSS — building strong, lasting relationships with customers across Queensland. Known for his approachable style and deep industry knowledge, Scott takes pride in understanding what each customer truly needs and finding the best way to deliver it.
Scott believes great sales aren’t about transactions — they’re about trust. Over the years, he’s become a go-to contact for many of QSS’s long-term customers, valued for his honesty, consistency, and ability to get things done.
As Sales Manager, Scott leads by example — always putting service first and supporting his team to uphold the QSS standard of care. He loves the challenge of helping customers grow their businesses and takes genuine satisfaction in seeing their success.
Whether it’s finding the right product, solving a supply challenge, or just having a laugh along the way, Scott brings reliability, integrity, and a personal touch to everything he does.

With almost 35 years in the steel industry and nearly 7 years with QSS, David brings a wealth of knowledge and a calm, solutions-focused approach to every customer interaction.
He’s known for his deep product understanding and ability to find practical answers quickly — traits that come from decades of hands-on experience in both sales and operations. David takes the time to understand his customers’ needs and ensures they get the right product, at the right time, with the reliable service QSS is known for.
What David enjoys most about his role is the relationships — many of which have lasted years. His customers know they can count on him for honest advice, consistent follow-up, and a genuine commitment to helping their businesses succeed.
At QSS, David’s experience, professionalism, and steady approach make him an invaluable part of the team and a trusted partner to his customers.
Grant Black
Sales Executive
I have been in the steel industry for 36 years selling a range of product into a variety of different industries. For me it’s about building a relationship with customers, knowing their needs and servicing the account accordingly. Building trust between QSS and their business. The industry has changed quite a bit over my journey. But the one constant has been meeting good people with all sorts of different characters and forging friendships and building a trusted bond. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, especially my grandkids. I also love my sport and thoroughly enjoy having a schooner and punt with my mates.
Peter "Ridgey" Ridge
Logistics Manager
With over 30 years at QSS, Peter has become the backbone of our logistics operations — ensuring every order leaves our warehouse on time, in perfect condition, and ready to meet our customers’ expectations.
Starting his journey behind the wheel as a QSS driver, Peter’s first-hand knowledge of routes, customer sites, and delivery priorities has been invaluable in shaping the way we operate today. His deep understanding of what happens on the road helps him run a tight, efficient warehouse and distribution system that keeps our customers’ businesses moving.
As Logistics Manager, Peter oversees the day-to-day warehouse operations and coordinates our fleet of trucks. His focus is on delivering a seamless experience — from processing and packing to the moment our customers receive their steel.
What makes Peter truly stand out is his loyalty and leadership. He treats his team like family, supports our drivers and warehouse crew, and takes immense pride in the service QSS provides. Outside of work, Peter enjoys camping and spending quality time with his wife and family — recharging before another busy week keeping Queensland’s steel moving.
Alex Harvey-Hall
Assistant Logistics Manager
Alex has grown up with QSS — joining the business as a young team member nearly 15 years ago and learning the ropes from the ground up. Over the years, he’s developed into a trusted and capable leader, now working alongside Peter Ridge to manage the daily logistics and warehouse operations that keep QSS running smoothly.
From packing orders and loading trucks to coordinating deliveries and mentoring new team members, Alex’s knowledge of the QSS process is second nature. His calm, can-do attitude and strong work ethic have earned him the respect of both the warehouse and driving teams.
Alex takes pride in helping ensure every order leaves the warehouse on time and in top condition. He embodies the QSS culture — loyalty, teamwork, and care for customers and colleagues alike.
Having grown with the business, Alex represents the next generation of QSS leadership — combining experience, reliability, and a genuine passion for doing things the right way.
