The end of 2025 will bring the closure of a stellar A&D Australasia career, with Minoru Tanaka calling time on his service to our company.
From his early days of joining A&D, where he worked really hard to embrace the Australian culture, even learning some unsavoury parts of our language, to the current day, Minoru has been a tremendous contributor to our business but also to our personal lives as he has become a true Aussie.
Minoru has played a critical role in the establishment of the A&D's Production Department, our Engineering Department, IT Support and the Quality system.
A true “quiet achiever” Minoru has worked tirelessly, quite often behind the scenes and often unnoticed , to build our company structure and to streamline our operations to the best effect.
Some of our company meetings are still fresh in the mind as Minoru was always a solid contributor to the fun that took place. I think we have all become very comfortable and close with Minoru in a friendship that has been forged over the years that we have all worked together.
As is traditional, we always want the best for our friends and to see them get the best that life has to offer. To this point we all wish Minoru every joy and success in retirement and we thank him for his brilliant contribution to each of our working lives.
From all at A&D, thank you Minoru, it has been a tremendous pleasure working with you and sharing the past 32 years. 👏👍👏
