A big congratulations to Mark on reaching an incredible milestone of 40 years in the printing industry!
Mark began his career in March 1986 with Atlas Print as an apprentice machinist, starting out on the presses and learning the trade from the ground up.
Over the years Mark expanded his skills, moving onto the guillotine before progressing into digital printing with Xerox machines, and later into costing and estimating. His experience across so many areas of the industry has made him an incredibly valuable part of the team.
To spend four decades in the print industry is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to Mark’s dedication, knowledge, and commitment to the craft. We’re very fortunate to have him continuing that journey here at Craigs Design & Print.

(Here's a couple of photos we've found of Mark from 2007)
