Many thoughts at this time are with Nicki and Sophie from us and deepest condolences to them both, we are truly stunned at the passing of Neil.

He was always amiable, humerous, supportive and very kind to me. Whether it was on the social side, parties after work events back at his house or other events of which over the 25 years I worked at Bobst, there were many.

I first met him on the day I started with Oscar Friedheim in the car park at Waterloo rd, when his job was as a corrugated product specialist. He crossed the car park to speak to me and said ‘ as I work for the corrugated section i probably will never have anything to do with you but welcome to the company ‘. Things progressed for him afterwards .

I always said that it was the mark of the man that he took the trouble to do this..

He led Bobst UK upon his return from Japan with his head and his heart. Everyone was treated fairly and equally.  He will be missed by all that knew him and certainly by the Bobst family,  old and new.
