Speaking of his retirement Williamson says it has always been his intention to retire at the age of 60, a milestone he reached in August this year.

He says, “I’ve worked in a number of roles and made many friends during my 44 years in the graphic arts industry, but the most memorable is the last 25 years working with a great bunch of people helping build Raleigh Paper into the successful business it is today.”

Williamson continues, “I’ve enjoyed my time in the graphic arts industry and made many friends along the way, however it’s time to move to the next chapter of my life which will include spending more time with my wife and family, travelling, fishing, community work and activities I haven’t even thought about as yet.

“I must say it’s great to get up in the morning and not have to head off to work in the Sydney traffic.”
