John was initially recruited to implement a new computer system in the late 90’s before playing an instrumental role in developing the company’s acclaimed logistics operation and planning the new Manchester HQ warehouse expansion.
“The company has grown dramatically over the years but there are many things that have stayed the same; the family atmosphere and Chairman Julian Nimans’ passion to achieve even more success,” he remarked.
John’s many farewell gifts included a new bench for his garden, a book of photographs of theatre legends and theatre vouchers. He says he’s looking forward to taking up ballroom dancing, travelling the UK, walking, firing up his Harley Davidson and directing more theatre productions.
“I’ve worked with so many nice people and I will miss them all.”
