I am very sad to hear of the passing of Mr Merlo, as one of the first few dealers of the Merlo product in the UK it has been a privilege to share in the growth of the product. Meeting Mr Merlo on a number of occasions, it was always clear that he had tremendous drive and a passion for innovation from which everyone could benefitp. He was interesting and interested always in how he could make his machines better. Unique in our industry, he will be greatly missed. Condolences to the Merlo family and all in Cuneo from all at Wiltshires
