We would like to take a moment to honour the great man who founded the Woolcock Group enterprise, Mr Richard Woolcock. Richard started the company in 1982 which was originally known as Woolcock Engineering and had only a couple of staff members. Over the years that Richard oversaw the company, it grew into a group of companies in various streams including construction, property, and winery operations. Richard built a culture of generosity, kindness, and loyalty that made staff feel valued with many keeping a long tenure. He also showed loyalty to many subcontractors and consultants, some of which have worked alongside the business for decades.

Richard was a hardworking man who loved to be around his fellow employees, continuing to come into the office well past retirement age and into his 80s. He would say hello to everyone as he walked past and frequently cracked a joke. When his fruit trees were in season, he often brought in a box of freshly picked fruit to share.

Richard went out of his way to impart his invaluable knowledge to younger employees to help them get a good head start in life. He also generously offered up his farm to staff who wanted to get away for a bit of quiet time.

A notable man who will be missed by many. Rest in peace Richard.
