A special shout-out, to the big boss, the man who started it all, Wade Hughes.
You might know Wade from his active involvement in the community with his Rotary Club of Gladstone Inc, from the many years he spent at Souths Hockey - Gladstone, or at swimming clubs, or at Gladstone Touch Association Inc, but anyone that truly knows Wade will know that he is a successful, proud businessman of Newprint HRG.
Wade started his apprenticeship with Modern Printers in 1969 and only 9 years later, he made the decision to take over the business and make it his own.
For the past 48 years, Wade has continuously strived to provide Gladstone & surrounds with superior solutions in print.
Whilst our ABN and banking details have changed since recently consolidating with Gladstone Printing Services, the heart of our business has not, Wade still turns up every day.
We want to acknowledge Wade for all of the hard work and dedication he has poured in over the years. We think he has probably earned an RDO or two (but we know he won’t take them!).
