Brae Neuk actually started out as a hobby for Angus but it soon grew to a full blown business, creating the unique and stylish furniture and novelty items that filled a niche in the market.
In discussing the business closure Angus said, "We made a decision not to let the business dominate our lifestyle any more. The seven year itch also kicked in and that's when we decided it was time to hang up the closed sign.
"I may still dabble in some special orders for people but Celle's husband John will be making some items for Celle's Shop which is moving into our former location.
"Both Karen and I are looking forward to more 'us' time in retirement for the second time." He said.
Angus plans to remain active in the business community as the Chairman of the Boorowa Business Chamber.
He will also be indulging his other passion as a leading force in the Boorowa Car Club.

I was born in Cowra and grew up in the region as part of a farming family. I've had extensive careers both in Journalism and Local Government. I'm passionate about supporting and advancing the local communities of the region and have a keen interest in the current affairs affecting residents. I love being outdoors and I live on a small rural property just outside Young. My spare time is spent with family and friends, camping, fishing, gardening, looking after my small flock of merino sheep and being with my companion dogs. I love to travel and I have been to New Zealand, Europe and Canada. I hope to travel more broadly in Europe in the coming years.
