Chris Holland

In Loving Memory of

Chris, our much loved colleague, has sadly passed away.

With over 28 years at Mercer, Chris’ contributions to our business and our people have been immeasurable. And although Chris had many professional accomplishments and was very committed to his work, his greatest commitment was to his wife Lindsey and their son, Thomas.

We all have memories of Chris, so please share your sentiments and stories about who Chris was, as a colleague and friend. Your thoughts will be particularly valuable to Lindsey, Thomas and Chris’ family, as well as to all his working colleagues.

As many know, Chris and Thomas were avid sailors and Chris would often tell of their sailing trips in Cornwall. In honour of this, Lindsey & Thomas have asked, in lieu of flowers, for any donations to be made to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI), mentioning Chris Holland of Portscatho & St Mawes Sailing Club and the Falmouth RNLI Station which he supported.

“Hiya!” In my mind I can still hear Chris saying this as he did at the start of all our meetings. Like many of us, I am finding it really difficult to believe he is no longer with us. It’s taken me some time to find the ‘right’ words to honour Chris and to …

Chris was an incredible colleague. He offered a world of knowledge in a selfless way. He helped our firm, our teams and us individually. There were special times when Chris face changed and the calm, numbers-filled mind was suddenly replaced by a cheerful warm heart: when Chris talked about his family (yes you Lindsey …
