For the last 17 years it has been my privilege to work alongside of
IOPSA, and since Gary has joined, there have been many positive
changes within the institute. We at Cobra wish Gary all the best in his
new venture. We will miss him very much but will have with us the
evidence of the good deeds that he has left with us. – Patrick Gordon

Dear Gary. I would like to thank you for the confidence you had in me
in electing me as Treasurer of IOPSA. I truly enjoyed working alongside
you and discussing the various financial challenges along the way. You
did a great job during your time and I believe you have left IOPSA in
a great position to continue its good work. Good luck in New Zealand
and all the very best to you and your family. – Mark Pratt
Dear Gary,
Other bosses give orders; you gave us direction.
Other bosses give targets; you gave us a vision.
Other bosses lead by authority; you have always led us by respect.
Farewell to a boss, like no other.
Wishing you the best of luck with your new venture, you will be
missed. – Kaela Bell

If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a
new hello. Wishing you much joy and happiness as you and your
family begin a new chapter in life. – PIRB Team
To the greatest executive director IOPSA has ever known. We have
always known that the plumbing industry has challenges, but I
never realised the challenges would scare you so much that you
have to leave the country! We will find you; you cannot hide forever.
Seriously though, it’s been a pleasure working with you over the past
