A CHAPTER in the history of the Review came to a close on Tuesday with the retirement of typesetter and page designer Ronni Scott.

Ronni has worked for Artytype, which is based in the same building as the Review, since 1987.

Ronni and her colleagues are responsible for fitting all the adverts on the pages of the paper and then filling in the gaps with news and pictures.

Editor of the Review, Mark Elson, said: “There’s a real art to page design and no matter what we throw at Ronni and our other friends at Artytype, they manage to get exactly the right amount of words and pictures to fill the page.

“Ronni’s catchphrase is: ’I’ll have a twiddle’ which means she’ll get the story to fit and somehow she always manages it.

“Everyone in the office is going to miss her skill and cheerful outlook.”

Ronni, who lives in Woolaston, started with Artytype when computers were very new to newspapers and not always reliable.

She returned to work after her sons started school, first with the school psychology service at Mounton House in Chepstow and then with Artytype.

Among Ronni’s plans for retirement is a trip to visit relatives in Australia.

She said: “I’ve loved my job – we do tend to hang around at Artytype once we start here.”

Artytype partner Ade Haines said: “Ronni has been part of the fabric of this operation ever since we started and we’ll really miss having her around.”
