It’s with great sadness that we are writing today on the Legacy that is Neil Jones, (Jones’s). Firstly our thoughts and condolences are with Nicki and Sophie at this difficult time. I first met Neil in 1997 at DSSmith Fordham, where I was working as an engineer, and Neil was the Service Manager for Oscar Freidhiem in charge of the project and training of the Bobst equipment. It was clear from the start that he was a people’s man, he greeted everyone with a smile and a handshake. His priority was for the wellbeing of the staff installing the new equipment. I joined Oscar Freidhiem’s in 1998, and Neil was the man to interview and employ me. It was clear then that the office and all the staff were a very happy family. We moved to Redditch in 1999, and became Bobst UK, a lot of the new staff were employed by Neil, and his judgement of people was so good that everyone fitted right in, like a new family. Over the 26 years of working with Neil, we have so many memories of our time together, the highs and the lows. Neil met everyone who came to the office with a shake of his hand, a smile, and greeting “how are you and your family. All our memories are happy ones, full of laughter, Neil you will be sadly missed, but never forgotten for your kindness, happiness, leadership, compassion, awareness and of all your friendships with us and so many.
