History
Marshall Batteries, established in 1935, have been servicing customers for over 75 years. The history of Marshall Batteries is long and distinguished. Not only did Marshall pioneer, roadside battery delivery, just 28 years after the foundation of Marshall Batteries, 1963 saw Marshall introduce yet another industry first; with television advertising.
To coincide with this medium, Marshall ‘Matt’ and the slogan ‘Holler for a Marshall!’ were created. Who could forget our iconic ‘Train Advertisement’. No-one knew then that this vision would lead to the creation of one of the most recognised retail brands in Australia for years to come.
In 2002, the Marshall Brand was re-launched as the roadside service program we know today, with its network of mobile technicians and dedicated battery outlets. Even Marshall ‘Matt’ had a new makeover, to bring him into the new millennium with a bang!
In 2009, Marshall Matt had a trim and his popular moustache and pistols were replaced by his trusty jumper leads and friendly smile, and strapping superhero muscles!
Marshall ‘Matt’ continues to go from strength to strength and with more people ‘Hollering for a Marshall’ for their battery and breakdown needs, the next 75 years is bound to be just as exciting and we thank all of you for your continued support.
