About

I started working in the pre-press industry at the age of 16 in an environment and on a process that had not much changed in the previous 500 years. Johannes Gutenberg or William Caxton would have felt very much at home in our hot-metal typesetting unit called Truset (Trowbridge) way back in 1974. My goals are simple . . . . to carry on facing and adapting to whatever challenges lie ahead, to remain relevant and to continue to enjoy wherever the journey from hot-metal compositor to retirement takes me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Character Traits and Specialities: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ • Team-builder and new start-ups • Living outside of the comfort zone • Motivator and motivated • Adaptability and flexibility — re-invention of oneself and others • A starter and a finisher • Pre-emptive and prepared • I shall leave the rest to you . . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------
