Today we’re celebrating the retirement of Bill Wrate after an incredible 39 years of service👏 Bill began his career at G . F Smith in October 1985, starting his journey in the Sample Room. He then spent time in the office providing superb customer service from the offset, and over time has gained icon status from nurturing long standing relationships with colleagues and customers alike. A fond time of Bill’s experience at G . F Smith was life out on the road as a paper rep - he covered the whole of London on his own 🚗 An absolute fountain of knowledge, there is nothing Bill doesn’t know about paper, print and production! Bill’s favourite part of his career has been working with his great colleagues past and present, and we are in unanimous agreement that the honour is all ours. Margaret Sweeney, Sales & Business Development Director, said of Bill “Thank you for giving a nervous office junior such a warm welcome on my first day 33 years ago. Thank you for always being there with a reassuring word. Thank you for your support and your much needed honesty. Thank you for all the laughs - laughter truly is a great medicine. And thank you for your hard work, commitment and for your incredible contribution over 39 years - we're so lucky and grateful that you chose to join the G . F Smith family all those years ago.” Please join us in wishing Bill a very happy and deserved retirement!
