I’m struggling to put into words what Stu meant to me, because every memory deserves its own story. What I keep coming back to is the quality of time we spent together. Whether it was a conversation, an idea, an adventure, or even an American doubles game of padel – Stu had this rare way of making everything feel more alive, more interesting, more connected. What makes this loss so hard for me to grasp is not just the past, but the future I always assumed was there: more conversations, more plans, more shared moments. There was always something ahead with Stu, something to look forward to. I’ll always be grateful for the time we had, and I’ll carry those moments with me….

To Amazing Stuart, What an incredible person you were. I was fortunate enough to spend such special moments with you in different countries while working together.  Just a glimpse of the wonderful soul you were, though it’s so hard to truly put into words. I always said that I was your “work mum,” and I cherished that bond. Your warmth and kindness made every place we visited together feel brighter. I know how much you loved skiing and being in the mountains, and those memories feel especially precious now. The times we shared will stay with me forever. You became like family, not only to me, but to my family and friends as well. There are no words to express how deeply you are missed. We had plans to have dinner when you returned, and to travel together again to Hong Kong and Bangkok. Those plans will always stay with me. You touched so many lives, including mine, and the lives of my family and friends. You will be truly missed. With love, Anita x…

Stuart, It’s fair to say that our working relationship didn’t begin quite as either of us had expected, I was so saddened to receive the tragic news. I was genuinely excited about the opportunity to work with you and to develop the plans and ideas we had discussed throughout the process. Thank you for placing your trust in me and giving me this opportunity, rest assured that the team is in capable hands. We will continue to build on the strong foundation you’ve established and continue your success….

Stuart, I really do miss you greatly, things are just not the same without you. I am so extremely sad that you are no longer with us, you were so excited for this year and all the plans that you had, both professionally and personally. You always had the remarkable ability to make me feel calm whenever I was overwhelmed,  whether to do with work or the two pregnancies you had nearly seen me through.   I really miss our long conversations and all the laughter we would have, you had become such a good friend over the years as well as my boss and I will always be so grateful for being part of your team. Thank you for everything x…

It’s clear that Stuart had a profound impact on all those who knew him. For me, he was simply a role model. Not one I could ever expect to emulate, but one I admire for everything he achieved. What makes him so special is how he could make everyone else feel special, how he would always have time for us, and how he was always full of praise and motivation, even when times were tough. He managed to blend our business and social interactions so finely that it was impossible to separate the two. I feel lucky to have had such a close relationship with him. We have all lost something that cannot be replaced but I hope in time his family and friends will adjust to by remembering all those special times….

I met Stuart in 2017 during an overseas launch in Hong Kong. Whilst Stuart and I knew eachother on a professional capacity, I considered Staurt a friend.  We confided in eachother about our lives and also loved to catch up regulary for a gossip. Stuart was a gentleman and always wanted to please everyone.  He always had so much energy!   During one trip one of the agents wanted to experience a traditional Chinese tea house for breakfast.   Stuart organised that we would all forgo our 5* breakfast at the Mandarin Oriental to experience a local tea house.  It was an experience I will never forget.   We all had so many giggles.     We were sat with a local family who enjoyed our company so much that they wanted us all to Facetime their family in mainland China – which we did. On another trip I mentioned to Stuart that my son was really enjoying geocaching as a new hobby.  That evening Stuart organised that we would all go geocaching.  Everyone on the trip was expecting to have an amazing dinner  – instead they were climbing walls and lamp posts looking for hidden treasures. I will miss Stuart and my…

Dear Stuart, We had breakfast together just a week before you left us. You told me that this year you had made a decision – to say yes to everything new that came your way, because life is simply too short. We spoke about your past achievements, which were many and remarkable, and your plans for 2026 – full of energy, ambition and excitement. We agreed to meet again at the end of February. None of us could have imagined that would be our last conversation. Your loss is immeasurable. To your family, your friends and to everyone who has the priviledge of knowing you – you left behind a space that cannot be filled. You were a brilliant friend and colleague for the past 13 years to me, and I will always be greatful for the time we shared. Rest in piece,  Oksana…

May your Sould Rest in Peace Stuart. You always had time to Smile and say “Hello, How are you” even though I was not part of your team. God Bless Beryl (BSU)…

Khaled Mousli

Dear Stuart, It truly saddens us to have lost you in such a tragic way. It has been nearly six weeks now, yet it still feels as though we received the shocking news only yesterday. It was a pleasure working with you and travelling alongside you. I always thought I was passionate about skiing, until I met you. I will deeply miss our conversations about different resorts, our debates about the business plans, and the rare moments when you (sometimes) admitted that I was right. You were incredibly proud of the team you had recently built, and despite the shock we’ve all been through, the team is determined to push forward and make you proud. We will certainly miss our after‑work pints, and the creative team‑building ideas you always came up with. May your soul rest in peace.   Khaled Mousli    …

I had the pleasure of working with Stuart over many years and had many a good chat with him. Although i didn’t get to spend time with him in a personal capacity, from a business partnership point of view, i found him professional, courteous and always willing to take the call, and resolve any issues. He was a good lead for his team and was well respected within our industry. Our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He will be missed. Joe & The Imperial Dragon Team….

Dear Stuart, it is impossible for me to put into words the sorrow of losing you. We were not only colleagues, but true friends who always supported each other. I will deeply miss our conversations where your unique perspectives always caught me off guard, and our work trips filled with laughter. I am grateful for your friendship and for everything you brought into my life. Rest in peace….

Martin Scholar

I am very sorry for your loss.  Although I never worked directly with Stuart, we were based in the same office for around 10 years.  As such, we became friends and colleagues and would spend time discussing common interests such as skiing; cycling and places to go.  He also saw the lighter side of what life at Barratt London can be like.   He is already very much missed.  …

Rose Pullan

Stuart, Thank you for being my office buddy for five years — always there with a smile, a joke, and an endless supply of strawberries and flowers. I’ll never forget our trip to Dubai: you buzzing with energy, unable to sit still for more than two minutes, and absolutely determined that Rosie and I had to go skydiving with you. I’ve never been happier to have the perfect excuse — being four months pregnant definitely saved me that day! Your enthusiasm and sense of adventure were contagious, even when I was happily keeping my feet firmly on the ground. You will be so deeply missed — for your kindness, our long lunches, and the joy you brought into every room. Love Rose x  …

Rosie Marden

You brought so much fun and energy to the team and I’m thankful for all the great times we had. You were always chasing the next adventure, and dragging the rest of us along with you. I’ll never forget (or fully forgive!) you convincing us that kayaking down the Thames from Greenwich to Battersea would make a “fun” team‑building day. It was chaotic and hilarious and one we’ll be talking about for years to come. Your presence in the office is already greatly missed, and I know there will be a big space where you should have been on our upcoming trips. Love, Rosie x…

Katerina Bauer

Our dear Stuart, It is hard to find the right words to express how much you meant to us. You have been a truly great friend to me and Farid for many years.We shared so many unforgettable moments together that we will always remember. We celebrated our achievements and milestones and through it all, you were never just a business partner – you were our valued friend. You were always there with your support, your belief in Entralon and our team, and your kindness, helping me in more ways that I can never fully express. Thank you for everything you gave us – for friendship, your trust, and your constant support. You will be deeply missed, always appreciated and never forgotten. With deep sadness and heartfelt gratitude, Kate B…
