I was deeply saddened to hear of Luke’s passing. He was an extraordinary colleague- kind, patient and someone who always made time for others, no matter how busy he was. He always remembered the detail and checked in later to see how things were going, whether it was a personal or professional concern. His support has made a meaningful difference to so many of us.

His warmth, generosity and compassion touched everyone who had the privilege to work with him, as I did over many years. Luke will be greatly missed, but his impact and the way he made people feel will not be forgotten. Alongside his cheeky smile and his wicked sense of humour, he leaves a legacy behind.

My heartfelt thoughts are with his family during such a difficult time.
