James Orchard’s Podcast

New Podcast Alert! We’re excited to introduce Owner Insights – our new podcast dedicated to uncovering the stories behind great businesses and the people who own them. Hosted by our Managing Director, James Orchard, each episode dives into the stories and insights of inspiring business owners.

Episode 1: Building Success from the Ground Up

In our first episode, James sits down with Jim Whiting, Executive Chairman of BADGE Constructions, to explore his journey from a small team of three to one of Australia’s largest privately-owned construction companies. Hear about his unique experience growing up with seven brothers, going into business with them, and why “It’s not the turnover but the leftover that matters.”
