History
Drake Removal Homes started as a small family business and now has a long history of over 50 years in building, house relocation and sales and marketing. In fact the company was started in Brisbane by Keith Drake back in 1971. Keith was well known and respected as a house builder, importer and timber retail business owner. Keith discovered a need for house removal services in Brisbane, and Drake Removal Homes was born.
In the 1970's and 1980's, the business was located in Logan City. Then, in 1990 it was relocated to a site on the Pacific Hwy at Loganholme, just north of Beenleigh. In 2001 David Fair joined the business as a sales consultant, later becoming General Manager. In 2015, Keith's son Guy took over the business and it then became a purely removal home sales and marketing operation, finding and securing suitable homes for removal and helping to facilitate relocation of those homes to their new owners. David Fair continued in his role as General Manager and in 2023 purchased the business from Guy and now owns and operates the business himself.
