Williamson said it had always been his intention to retire at the age of 60, a milestone he reached in mid-August. He retired shortly after.

“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, fishing, fishing, community work and activities I haven’t even thought about as yet,” Williamson said in an email to friends and colleagues.

“I must say it was great to get up this morning and not have to head off to work in the Sydney traffic – happy days!”

“Thanks to everyone for helping me during my time in the industry, I really appreciate it.”
