Well it is the end of an era for me. 

I started Paul M Publishing from my Weymouth home back in 1990, moved it to a few friends homes, then to an office in Joval place, Manukau. It was there we bought our first imagesetter and started doing film for local printers. In 2000 we moved to Great South Road Manurewa and bought our first CTP in 2005.

Some of you will remember my employees over the years... Saul, Mike, Gina, Melanie and of course Matthew. The business has outlasted many - and we have no regrets - but it's time to move on.

Many of you know that my involvement in Taekwon-Do has increased over the years, where now that is pretty much my full time job. I had been thinking of selling the business for a while, but the fit had to be right for my clients and most importantly for Matthew - who has been my loyal staff member for over 19 years.

I'm happy to stay that ARTECH PRINT purchasing the business means that Matthew will be employed and there will be no unnecessary interruption to you - as you can continue to deal directly with Matthew as you have done in the past.

So the change over date is 1st May, and once that happens you can contact Matthew via reception at Artech Print Ph 09 262 0604, or email matthew.s@artechprint.co.nz. For a few weeks after that we may still be running plates out of 142 Great South Road, as the moving of the CTP gear has yet to be organised.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for your business and friendship over the years. I know you will be in good hands with Matthew and Artechtech Print looking after you.

All the best and thanks.

Paul McPhail
