Freeman Freighters - Liquidation

Freeman Freighters, a Sydney-based freight transport logistics business with a history dating back to 1988, entered liquidation on 14 August. In December 2022, the business was sold, and shortly thereafter the new owner alleges that the former owner and director engaged in competitive conduct that affected the company’s customers and cashflows. By July 2023, it was determined that the business was no longer viable and steps were taken to wind it down. Jonathon Keenan and Peter Krejci of BRI Ferrier were appointed joint liquidators. The appointment was referred to them by Adam Cutri of Bartier Perry, the law firm representing the company’s director.
