Ron Thorpe the man affectionately known as Australia’s own ‘Mr Hallmark’ throughout his tenure has announced his retirement.
Ron was an integral member of the team who negotiated the Hallmark/newsXpress strategic partnership and will remain a staunch newsXpress supporter. Ron’s dedication and loyalty to the newsagency industry is unsurpassed. Over his 40 years at Hallmark has made many friends and helped many newsagents.
Ron enjoys a game of golf, so don’t hesitate to invite him up for a game now he has more time on his hands.
We wish Ron and his wife Gay all the best in his well deserved retirement.
