Past and present employees of Newton Press enjoyed a celebratory dinner at the Bay Horse Middridge to mark the company’s 50th Anniversary as the town’s printers.
Attending was first apprentice Roger Pounder from Newton Aycliffe who made a point of thanking Syd Howarth, the founder, for starting him off on his successful career.
It was an enjoyable occasion, with good food and lots of talk about each past employee’s experiences during and after their time at Newton Press.
Paul Howarth organised the event and thanked everyone for attending. Syd said how nice it was to meet up with everyone again and thanked each employee for their contribution to the success of Newton Press and hoped they had derived some benefit from the experience.
