Maintenance officer Gordon Spratt retired in February 2012 after three years and six months service at the AS.

AS chief operating officer George Borg said: “Gordon has been a true custodian of the facility, tending to a very broad range of tasks across the site. Gordon has been our ‘general fixer’, acting as our painter, plumber, builder, assembler and removalist, and wearing numerous other hats during his time at the synchrotron. Gordon has been a valued employee and his familiar face and friendly approach will be sorely missed.

“On behalf of all staff, I wish to thank Gordon for his significant contribution to the organisation and for his unwavering commitment and maintenance expertise. I wish him and his family the very best for their future.”
