Time to Quit, Says 95-Year-Old

Any talk about the retirement age being upped to 68 or 70 would result in
a sort of "so what?" response from Trevor Page of Napier.
.
At 95 Mr Page has decided the time has come for him to finally retire from
the business he started 59 years ago.
.
Until yesterday he had always popped into work.
.
But the time to hang up the work gear was about right Mr Page, who set up
Page Plating in 1955, said at a surprise farewell function on Thursday
staged by family, friends and old work colleagues at the now-vacant Ford
Rd business.
.
"No I didn't know anything about this," he said. "I was just about to take
some stuff out to the dump - so I'll do that later."
.
He started his working life with the Post Office before branching out from
wireless mechanic work to electroplating in 1948.
.
He worked in Hamilton and Wellington before starting his own plating
business in Gisborne.
.
At the time there was no specialist plating business in Napier and he
figured if he didn't start one there someone else would.
.
He literally built the first Page Plating shop at what was then (in 1955)
a barren landscape at the northern edge of Onekawa.
.
Before making the shift he sought advice from locals about finding a place
to set up.
.
"There was no room in the town," he said, but he'd heard about the open
spaces that today house the Onekawa industrial area.
.
"One chap said, 'I wouldn't bother looking at that, son - it's out in the
country and no one will go there'."
.
But Mr Page decided the spot off Dunlop Rd would do just nicely, and his
business was just the third to set up in the area.
.
As his daughter, Jan, said with a smile, he built his plating factory
piece by piece.
