CUSTOMER STORY
“Why would we use anything else?”
Three generations of the Riches family — founder Les, son Russell, and grandsons Jack and Sam — on what trust in a brand really looks like. Filmed on site near Colac, regional Victoria.
In a workshop just outside Colac, a third-generation electrical business runs on a quiet kind of loyalty. We sat down with the Riches family to ask a simple question: after all these years, why Sprecher + Schuh?
“We’ve used Sprecher + Schuh for over three generations — why would we use anything else?”
