Armidale
In 2005 Auswest Seeds announced the acquisition of the wholesale seed business of Purkiss Seeds located in Armidale. The staff that have previously managed & operated Purkiss Seeds so successfully remained with the new business.
In 2006 due to the volume of business going through the Armidale Office/Warehouse the business moved to its current location of 35 Bundarra Road where they could fully accommodate the large volumes of seed.
Also in 2006 Jacob O'Brien was employed as a Territory Manager based out of the Armidale office. Jake obtained a degree in Systems Agriculture at Uni of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury before becoming the Farm Manager for Vanoci Pty Ltd. He can tell you everything you want to know about feed mills and battery hens. Following this he took up the position with Agricentre where he has been designing farm plans for horticulture, pasture and cropping.

Brisbane
At the beginning of 2006 Auswest Seeds Brisbane moved into a warehouse to better service the needs of our Queensland and Northern NSW customers. The move was well supported, so well in fact that Auswest Brisbane soon out grew the new premises and at the end of 2006 moved to 802 Boundary Road, Coopers Plain. With business continuing to grow AusWest Seeds Brisbane has again had to move into even larger premises at it's new location of 5/33 Stockwell Place, Archerfield QLD.
With this move came some new staff members again due to the rapid expansion of the Business. In Customer Service is Brett McIntyre who has been with Auswest Seeds since the beginning of 2006, joining Brett is a new Territory Manager who has many years of experience in the Australasian seed industry.
