It’s humbling to receive so many kind
wishes on our company’s 40th birthday. I’ve lived nearly
all my life in Ipswich and it’s home to me. Along with
my wife Joan, we have been on the receiving end of over
40 years of support from the Ipswich people and have
always enjoyed giving back, especially to members of our
community who have not been as fortunate as others. We
have a great team of people here at the dealership who
also enjoys helping our great city. The success of our
company has been a team effort and I am very grateful
for the support.

Ian Boettcher’s passion for business,
commitment to customer service and community spirit have
been the platform for one of the most successful and
enduring Ipswich business success stories. In 2009 Ian
Boettcher Motors celebrates 40 years service to the
South-East Queensland motor industry, from humble
beginnings in 1969 through today’s multiple award
winning motor dealership and race division. The majority
of Ipswich families have, over the years, either
purchased a new or used vehicle, had a car serviced or
financed through the company, or been touched by one of
the generous community donations the Boettcher family is
so highly regarded for.
“My wife Joan and I have been partners
for more than 55 years and we are proud of our three
children and six grand children,” Mr Boettcher said.
“Ian Boettcher Motors is a family company, who for the
past 40 years has been offering quality vehicles to
Ipswich and South-East Queensland.
“We have a diverse company with
complimentary focuses and our discount tyre and race
parts division assist our core business. “I work hard to
provide our customers with outstanding customer service
and this philosophy is carried through to every level of
the company.” The greatest compliment for Ian Boettcher
Motors is its repeat customer base and longevity of key
staff. “Our general sales manager Roy McKinty has been
with the group since 1979 and I am delighted to have my
Children and now Grandchildren involved in the business.”

Mark Quinn said the Boettcher family had forged a
successful business due to their work ethic, customer
focus, pride in Ipswich and their desire to put back
into the community which supports it. “The company motto
is ‘prompt, courteous service with integrity’ and it is
a philosophy Ian believes very strongly in and is
committed to ensuring the staff, at all levels,
embrace,” he said.
“Ian and Joan have built their business
from scratch and have invested very heavily in it over
the past 40 years due to their faith in Ipswich and
their desire to build a company of which they are both
very proud.”

Sales
Leadership
All good business operators understand
the importance of their staff and that looking after
their staff is an investment in a successful future.
A backbone behind the ongoing raising of the customer
service bar is long serving vehicle general sales
manager Roy McKinty. Roy has been running the car sales
team since 1979 and is well known among the Ipswich and
South-East Queensland automotive community. “This year
Roy is celebrating his 30th year with the company. In
modern times it is rare to have one employee serve three
decades in such a role,” company owner Ian Boettcher
said. “Roy remains a great asset to the Ian Boettcher
Motors team.” Roy and his wife Evelyn and their son Roy
Jnr immigrated to Australia from Northern Ireland in
1977 and Roy was working in the marine industry when he
met Ian Boettcher. “If you speak with Roy, he still has
the faintest of accents and is a popular member in our
Irish community. “A keen golfer, Roy has been the
driving force behind the sales team which has seen the
team win many accolades over the past 30 years.” Mr
McKinty said he was honoured to be part of the Ian
Boettcher Motors team. “I have remained at Ian Boettcher
Motors because it is such a strong company to work for
and I still enjoy the challenges as much today as I did
the first day I started,” Mr McKinty said. |

precision, high-speed alignment and greater productivity
in a minimum of bay space. “Optimised for speed and
efficiency, the HawkEye cameras and high-definition
wheel mounted targets significantly reduce the distance
required from the front turnplates to the front bay wall
to secure accurate alignment readings. “We also offer
mag and performance wheels and ‘wheel and tyre’ packages
for all makes and models. “Next time you require new
tyres or wheel balancing and alignment, we would love
you to consider Ian Boettcher Discount Tyres.”
