Tucker Barbecues Employee Directory

In the coming months our BBQ Factory Stores across Sydney will also be known as Tucker Barbecues. Our staff, owners and products remain the same. As we expand online and continue to ship our BBQs across Australia we feel that the Tucker brand better represents who we are and where we are going. We're not a factory, we're a lifestyle! The BBQ Factor... y has been a family business for over 30 years. Our founder, Gerry Brown, was a pioneer in gas BBQ design. He designed brass fittings to integrate Primus, Companion and the relevant gas cylinders and camping accessories back in the seventies. Gerry developed a large range of LP gas accessories under the banner of Cook On, which is still around today. After he sold that business he started to build a range of gas and charcoal BBQ's for Aussie backyards. Over time as weather conditions and heat fatigued the products, there was clearly a need for quality stainless steel BBQs. In the late 1980s Russel Whittaker joined Gerry and together they designed Tucker BBQs. With the primary market being Sydney's Northern Beaches their primary focus was on quality and durability. They made products such as Tucker Boxes, Tucker Grills, Master Cooks, Club BBQ's, Dinner Boxes, Tucker Mates, along with many others. They found that their testing grounds on Sydney's Northern Beaches were perfect for developing strong, reliable and resilient BBQ's. Customer's requirements became more complex and design was being pushed by the market. Every year they would develop something new for the Aussie BBQ market. Unlike other companies Tucker have been developing BBQs for three decades. Over this time we have found there is a market for quality. We said, "Let's not bother to make price point BBQs as they don't make the customers happy in the long run. Let's try to make BBQs that people want and need in this harsh area. Let's not worry about the cost of manufacturing and what the products will sell for, let's just make good BBQs". This is how Tucker products were created and how the range developed. ...Read More
