THE COMPANY

NutriHealth International is a family business originating in Yackandandah, Victoria.

It was set up principally to commercialize a natural fertilizer developed by Graham Maddock for the 4th generation family farm. With the support of his wife Lyn and brother Ian, the product NutriSoil®LS was developed and trademarked in 1999.

In 2005 brother Max Maddock and Graham’s daughter Rachelle joined the business. Max focused on rural sales visiting farms across Victoria and New South Wales greatly improving personal relations with clients. Rachelle developed a 5-year business plan and established accounting, marketing and sales processes to move the business into a more professional phase.

In 2007 the NutriSoil production plant and residence for Graham, Lyn and Rachelle moved to Whytes Rd Baranduda (10kms from Wodonga). The new purpose-built facilities and ‘state-of-the-art’ production system designed by Graham encapsulate 15 years of knowledge and experience in farming worms.

As well as a more efficient design, windrows are double the length of the former ones that produced NutriSoil®LS for many years on the family farm at Yackandandah. The 750m2 warehouse incorporating 12sq office/function centre 10km from Wodonga will be the perfect field day, learning and networking environment.

Summer 2007/2008 saw the addition of Mattia Ringe as our Accounts Manager and Justin Armstrong in Customer Services (now Logistics Manager). We also said goodbye to Max as he pursued another family business assisting to develop the Yackandandah Gum Tree Cafe.

In 2008 we purchased the On-Farm Display & Delivery Truck which was used for about 8 on-farm information sessions that year alone.

2009 has already been a busy year with…
- two new team members, Daryl Maclagan in Ordering & Distribution and his wife Jennette who worked with us formerly on a casual basis but is now permanently our Packaging & Grounds Maintenance person.
- another overhaul of equipment with a new Shell-bourne mixer and Tractor
- the sealing of the road to keep the dust/mud down and the truckies happy.
- Justin & Rachelle got married and moved into their own house in Baranduda.
