End of an era

Vince Holden, Hugh Mackay joint-md has been planning his retirement since September 2022, gradually reducing his working time to allow the business to adjust and prepare.

He has now decided that the time has come for him to hang up his pattern books following an illustrious career spanning 46 years, starting in retail, passing through frozen food and culminating in the giddy heights of the carpet industry, where he has firmly established himself as a legend.

His jovial persona and endless football analogies have entertained and educated countless people over the years, but behind that affable exterior is a fiercely competitive man with strong commercial acumen and creative flair, which has allowed him

to drive the Hugh Mackay business forward over the past decade.

‘As Paul Anka wrote, “And now the end is near,” and on 31 January the curtain came down on Vince’s official career in the trade. He will be greatly missed and I know that you will all join me in wishing him a very long, happy and healthy retirement – and a new chapter,’ says Stephen Donlan, Hugh Mackay md.
