Welcome to Season 4 of the Voice it Podcast!!

So glad to be back and to bring you more delightful guests from the Clare Valley and mid north area of South Australia.

Malcolm Stanley Heinrich, is the managing directorof SC Heinrich and Co - a family owned and operated company specialising in earth moving, quarrying, and transporting based here on the outskirts of Clare.

The business was originally started in 1954 by StanHeinrich, Malcolm’s father and has been operated by the Heinrich family ever since. Stan retired in his 50th year in business but remained actively involved for a further 6 years until his passing in 2010.

Malcolm has working full time in the business since he was 15 years old - that’s just over 50 years. He’s workedmainly alongside his brother Robert, who most recently stepped away and now runs it with his younger brother Andrew and his son Alex.

Malcolm takes you through the history of his family and the business - how it all began, the high and the absolute lows through the 1960 and 70’s, the absolute transformation of the business during Covid and his plans for the future.
