Malcolm Excavating in Burgessville has had a storied history. Andrew Malcolm’s father, George W. Malcolm, originally started the company over 80 years ago. A part time gig, George began with one backhoe, which he used to put in field tile, do drainage work, and put septic beds in for his customers. He did this for 50 years, before handing the reins over to his son Andrew. Andrew has grown the company to now include over 100 pieces of equipment and 40 employees. Malcolm Excavating is very much a team effort. “Our success and achievements come from the dedication and hard work of each of our employees past, present and also in the future,” according to Andrew.

Andrew, along with two of his children, Nathan and Andrea, run various aspects of the business. Andrew’s father continued to work for him 10 years after handing over the reins to Andrew, as Andrew will likely do when he is ready to hand over the reins.
