After a very busy start to the year we had a bit of a surprise to find that one of our lead printers had decided that the time was now to consider retirement, this is after a life time in print.
Graham thanking Dave with a quick speech with all the team – Dave looking uncomfortable!
Dave Dennet has been with us nearly 10 years and in that time presided over some big changes in our press room. Originally starting on our 2 colour Heidelberg, then our 5 Colour Heidelberg 74. A Heidelberg man all his life, Dave didn’t speak to me for days after we decided to invest in the new Komori technology! Once installed and trained he soon became a big fan of what the Komori press could produce.
That was 6 years ago, more recently Dave was learning new things again when we installed the first Komori HUV 5 colour press, demonstrating his ability in being up and running in a couple of days!
Sadly various reasons meant he felt the time was right to retire and his last day was Thursday 24th March. We got together and all contributed to gardening vouchers that should last him some time! Plus enlisted the services of a cake make to create a print themed cake (no easy task!)
I speak on behalf of everyone in the company when I say Dave will be sorely missed and we are grateful for his invaluable contribution to Remous Print since his arrival.
