Aidan Joseph O'Brien

Those of us that were lucky enough to work with Aidan in his 5 short years with Crown Agents Bank, and those of us who were even luckier to get to know him as a friend, were shocked to hear of his sad and sudden passing.

I’m not sure where to begin, but Aidan meant so much to so many people. He was clever, not just in a professional capacity, but would always be my first choice partner in any pub quiz.

You never know who you’re going to get when you hire someone, but I quickly learned that Aidan was one of the best hires I have ever made. Not only did he bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, but he also brought his sense of humour, his practicality, his drive and enthusiasm, and …

To my friend Aidan, You are sorely missed, not just by me but it goes without saying your immediate family being your wife, sons, wider family and many friends. You brought light, laughter and happiness into so many lives whom you met whether socially or through the workplace. We first met at Crown Agents …
