How did you get into printing?
I’m involved in the planning aspect of printing and it all started here at Workz.
What do you like most about your job?
There’s a tremendous scope for learning and my role offers new challenges each day.
What is the worst thing about your job?
There isn’t any, that’s why I love my work.
What was the best deal you pulled off?
As a planner, I don’t get involved in deals but I’ve been part of some major factory milestones such as producing 7 million scratch cards in a single day.
Whom do you admire in print?
It has to be Malcolm Keightley our factory manager as I have learnt a lot from him.
What makes you laugh?
A good TV sitcom after a day’s work cracks me up.

The Crazy Ones will definitely make it to the party.
Where would you go if you could time-travel?
I live in the present. I don’t want to see the future, I want it to be a surprise. I don’t want to see the past, I’ve lived it.
What is your greatest fear?
I fear I may not be able to do all the things I would like before I grow old.
How would you like to be remembered?
How I lived. Death is inevitable, life isn’t.
