The beginning
Mayne Nickless, a transport and logistics company, was going from strength to strength in 1938, when the idea for an armoured car division was first conceived. A response to the murder of several people carrying cash on the streets of Melbourne, it was decided that specially armoured vehicles and armed guards were needed to provide the safe transport of cash and cheques for customers.
