About the Owner
After a five-year search for the right business, Tim McKeown purchased Metro Rags & Supplies from Jeanne and Peter in April 2023. Tim brings more than 40 years of small business experience across a range of industries including the motor trade, tyre industry, retail and now industrial supply. His practical, customer-focused approach made Metro Rags a natural fit from the beginning.
Tim is passionate about running a reliable, service-driven business and believes strong customer relationships are built through consistency, honesty and doing what you say you will do. He enjoys working closely with Metro’s loyal customer base and is proud to lead the small team that keeps the business operating smoothly each day.
A proud Brisbane dad of two very active children, much of Tim’s spare time is spent between athletics, dance competitions and family life. He also enjoys staying hands-on in the business and still regularly joins the delivery runs, valuing the chance to meet customers and the people working on the ground in the industries Metro supports. After more than four decades in small business, Tim admits he probably wouldn’t know what to do with himself if he slowed down now.
