Brambles took its name from Walter Edwin Bramble, who arrived in Sydney with his English parents in 1858 when he was less than one year old. When Walter was fifteen, he and his brothers became river traders, supplying settlers in the growing Hunter River area of N.S.W. with meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy produce. In 1875, at the age of 18, Walter established a butchering business. He was a cut up and deliver butcher, who transported the meat to customers by boat or horse and cart. Two years later, he had saved enough money to move his business to the rapidly growing port town of Newcastle. Walter gradually expanded the transport part of his business, carrying meat and other produce for Newcastles butchers and growers. The diversification was successful and in 1890 he began a carrier service between Newcastle and Sydney. W.E Bramble & Sons (Walter junior, Alan and Milton) began advertising with the slogan: Our Motto - Keep Moving.
