Paragon - The Independent's most loyal advertiser

The Independent Business weekly is closing it's door this month after 18 years. In today's editorial Jenni McMannus talks about how the paper started in 1992.

I fondly recall sitting in a pub with her and Warren Berryman (RIP WOG) when they talked about the concept. I was their first advertiser and have remained loyal since, paying the same rate in all that time.

The deal when we first started was that I paid each week. If they had others that would pay more then I got bumped but still paid. "The good old days".

The other funy thing was my photo that has remained the same for 17 years !!! People always comment about NZ's PI Peter Pan.

I will miss the Independent and certainly miss my old mate Warren.
