When 80-year-old Barry Souter landed his first job in a clothing store 64 years ago, the retail industry looked a lot different.
Customers were not able to browse the shelves but had to ask for clothes to be brought out from behind the counter. When a sale was made, Souter had to handwrite the sale docket. And stock-taking was very much a manual task.
But through all the changes, Souter has never stopped having fun. “It’s the people that make it. Human interaction is what keeps us all going.”
Souter’s first job was at Hallensteins in Dunedin when he was 16, and he worked for Munns in Christchurch for a long time before opening his own business in Bishopdale nearly a decade ago.

The Respiratory Relief Society was formed by a group of physiotherapists who saw a need for people with lung conditions to undertake gentle exercises and learn how to self-manage their breathing conditions. They are still running today, so if you are someone or you know someone who might benefit from their activities, give them a ring.
Look no further! Join Sam Mannering on Thursday the 23rd of September and cook your dinner along with him.

The family behind a brewery born from the rubble of the Christchurch earthquakes are “in a state of disbelief” following their third win at the World Beer Awards.
Cassels & Sons has thrived in its Woolston site since the quakes struck a decade ago.
On Friday, the team woke to discover their American pale ale (APA) had been named the world’s best for 2021 at the World Beer Awards in the United Kingdom.
The small Garden City brewery pipped several well-known global brands with its third win in a row at the awards, leaving owner Alasdair Cassels in “a state of disbelief”.
Not bad from little old Woolston, eh?
