On Friday we bid farewell to Tony Sonka and we wish him a very happy and well earned retirement. Tony has worked with us for 35 years, starting out as an operator and for the last 15 years has been a fundamental part of our leadership team as Harvesting Manager. Many of us here have learnt so much from him over the years and we will miss seeing him around the bush and the yard but are very happy for him that he is able to enjoy a relaxing retirement and will now have plenty of time for fishing! Congratulations Tony!
