Guhring announced that MACH 2018 was the swansong exhibition for long-standing managing director Mike Dinsdale, who has spent the past 39 years serving the company.

On the penultimate day of the show, the MTA recognised this achievement by presenting Dinsdale with a cake on the Guhring stand that said “with congratulations and thanks from the industry”. Presented by MTA president Geoff Bryant, who has also recently retired from Citizen Machinery, the presentation was an emotional occasion filled with tales of days gone by. Dinsdale will be retiring later in the year.
