Werner, a resident of South Australia, became involved with APF Store activities during the mid 1990's and over the following years, single-handedly ran this operation right up until his retirement in late 2006.  During this time, Werner not only established procedures to make ordering of goods from the store as easy as possible but also was instrumental in ensuring products were on sale at International Exhibitions in Melbourne (1999) and Sydney (2005).  Following the success of selling store products at these exhibitions, Werner coordinated the selling of products at Adelaide Stampex 2006 and it is his recommendation that where possible, the APF Store should be represented at future National Exhibitions.

Werner always prided himself in providing a first class service with orders being processed in an extremely prompt manner, the only exceptions being when on a short holiday to visit his family or the rare occasions when awaiting delivery of new stocks.
