Johnny Dean Retires

9 April 2026

Today we say a fond farewell to our CEO, Johnny Dean, as he retires after 18 years of outstanding service.

Johnny’s journey with Gordon Timber has been truly remarkable, starting as Harvesting Manager and ultimately leading the business as CEO. Even before taking on these roles, he had a long-standing relationship with the company through his haulage services, reflecting his deep roots in the industry.

Throughout his time with us, Johnny has made an exceptional contribution, not only through his leadership but through the passion and dedication he brought to the business every day. His influence will continue to be felt across the team he leaves behind.

Thank you Johnny, for your incredible service. We wish you a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.
