Jim Tolmachoff along with his wife, Priscilla commenced operations as J&P Metals in 1966 as a scrap metal dealership steadily expanding through hard work and a nose for profitable business.

As their Company and family grew, their grown children took active roles in the Company. The family saw a growing need to diversify their business and in 1985 South West Waste was acquired. In 1995, a specialist bin hire and disposal service for the domestic and commercial markets was formed and Bunbury Handy Bins came into operation.

In 1997, Kingscape Holdings Pty Ltd (“Kingscape”), informally known as J&P Group, was formed as the parent body of this rapidly expanding group of businesses. In 2007, Kingscape changed its company name to J&P Group Pty Ltd ATF Kingscape Unit Trust.

In response to market needs and opportunities, J&P Group continued to expand, 1999 saw business opportunities in new and used plant and machinery sales and J&P Industries (now J&P Deconstruction Pty Ltd) - was formed to undertake works in demolition and deconstruction.

In 2006, J&P Group sold its waste management division, (South West Waste and Bunbury Handy Bins) to Transpacific Industries, obtaining a long term lease for the landfill at Banksia Road. This sale enabled J&P Group to concentrate on the growth and expansion of its new & used machinery, imports and sales of industrial sheds, conveyor systems and plate, steel sales, scrap metals and deconstruction.

J&P Group has a broad market base including national and international clientele and new market areas and clients are actively sourced.
