We haven’t always had thousands of products on the shelves, spanning the Healthcare, Industrial, Facilities and Hospitality sectors, or deliveries going all over Queensland and a buzzing team of over 20 lovely people making it all happen!

Step back to the early 90’s when 17 year old Rick Sanderson first got a taste for making customer’s happy! It was an innovative impregnated polishing cloth that got it all rolling… and everyone loves a good quality, innovative product. This led to the establishment in 1997 of Executive Catering Supplies, a consumable wholesaling business run by Rick and his wife Julie from the back shed of their little house in South St with the family car as a delivery vehicle!

We are proud to say that we have customers who placed their first order with us in 1997 and are still loyal customers today! In 2000 Rick & Julie moved their growing family and business to Flinders St to a house with a shed big enough to house their rapidly expanding stock.

The variety of products and customers rapidly grew so the name was changed to Executive Distributors. After the purchase of another similar wholesale business in 2002, more space and more staff were needed. The business moved to a commercial property in Finchley St and Craig came on board as the first employee in 2003!

Within a few years we had outgrown this shed and moved to bigger premises in Orford Court in 2007.

Executive steadily rode out the GFC of 2008, by remaining focused on being competitive and offering good stock levels along with fast delivery as customers became more conscious of the need to streamline their supply chain.

Fast forward to 2010, with more staff on board, Executive was on the move again! This time to a purpose built 10m high warehouse in Croft Crescent, Harristown. A major improvement to efficiencies happened in 2013 with the installation of a specialized computer program.

In 2020, our warehouse worked up to 21 hours per day during the peak of Covid supply issues, sharing desperately needed PPE and hygiene supplies to our loyal customers throughout the state.

2023 and we’re still kicking goals, with the same ownership, many of the original staff plus a few more lovely additions. We’re still constantly improving what we do, how we do it and searching for new and innovative products to help you out and give you the reliable, friendly service that we’re known for.
