In the first part of the podcast you will hear how Quin, in 1977 left his job after 15 years and and decided to set up Scalzo foods from the spare room in his family house. We discuss the early days of Scalzo foods, how business was done, hurdles in the early days and Quins journey to now.
Fast forward 40 years from 1977 and Quin is still in the business but has handed the reigns over to his son and now managing director, Michael Scalzo who we chat to in the 2ndhalf of the podcast.
Here we discuss how business and food was in Michaels blood from a very early age, how he deals with the pressure of running a $450m business, his latest investment in the first southern hemisphere plant based protein facility and the future direction he is taking the Scalzo business.
