Join us on Tuesday 3 March, to hear...
Michael Hickinbotham
Managing Director Hickinbotham Group
Building a house is meant to be one of the greatest tests of relationship management. After all, any form of construction takes many differently skilled individuals, all united under the talent of a good project manager.
For Hickinbotham – South Australia’s number one builder with a record 35,000 homes and more than 50 community estates – this relationship management is a reflection of its family heritage, and the basis of its incredible success.
The company was founded by Chairman Alan Hickinbotham, with his father Alan R. Hickinbotham in 1954. Even at those earliest of days, there were defined roles that played to individual strengths, with Alan holding the finance and sales responsibilities while his father organised the construction side of the business. Fundamental values were also established in the early days, which have carried through the ages.
Roughly 20 years ago, Alan’s son, Michael, left the Melbourne office of law firm Blake Dawson Waldron, where he was practicing corporate law, to join the family business. He is now the managing director of Hickinbotham; ensuring that the family lines continue.
At the heart of it all, he says, is “relationships built on trust”.
It is a rarity to see a company evolve and develop with the times, yet remain so fundamentally true to its beliefs. Perhaps it is the strength of family, but Hickinbotham is managing it perfectly.
You will enjoy another one on one with Micahle and host James Packham!

Captain Georgina Sutton FRAeS
QANTAS Captain Georgina Sutton is the Boeing B787 Dreamliner Base Operations Manager, Sydney International Airport.
A position she has held for some 2 years, in addition to being a QANTAS B787 Check and Training Captain.
Georgina first commanded the Dreamliner in 2015, at which time she was promoted to be the Chief Pilot and Head of Flying Operations for Jetstar Australia and New Zealand, the highest position ever held by a female in a major Australian airline.
Aviation has been in Georgina’s blood ever since she went for her first flight in a vintage ES 49 glider in 1977 at Blanchetown on the River Murray in South Australia.
She followed a career in commercial aviation from 1985, firstly with the smaller regional airlines in South and Western Australia, and then from 1989 with QANTAS and its associated airlines, Australian Airlines and Jetstar, flying initially as a 2nd officer in the B747 Jumbo jet.
She became B767 Captain in 2001 and the QANTAS B767 Fleet Captain in 2013. In addition to her flying duties, Captain Sutton was an accredited Air Accident Investigator for 10 years from 2001. In 2016, she was admitted as a fellow in the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Georgina is an inspirational leader and daughter of Rotarian Peter Sutton of our Club. A perfect choice to speak at Rotary Adelaide’s International Women’s Day lunch.
