A beautiful life has come to an end, but the memories created will live on forever….

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.  …

I write this with a smile on my face but sadness in my heart.  Luke started as a colleague and quickly became a friend. He had a unique energy that lifted a room and could somehow make tackling the thorniest of issues that little bit easier.  He was excellent at his job but more than that he was incredibly kind and had the ability to listen and understand, he was quick witted and very funny.  I, along with everyone, will miss him hugely and the world is a little duller without him but I will remember him with a smile. …

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  …

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…

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…

I was so deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Luke. He was the brightest light and an incredibly special person who will be sorely missed. His kindness and energy made a lasting impression, and I was so very grateful for the support he gave me in my role. Even in difficult times, Luke would find a way of making situations easier through his patience and warmth. My thoughts and sympathy are with Luke’s family and his friends at this time. …

  It’s still so hard to believe that Luke is no longer with us. He was such a fantastic human being, and he brought so much light and laughter into every space he walked into. He always made me smile — whether it was the random messages in the evenings or at weekends asking for recommendations on places to eat or visit, or the way he would creep up behind me in the office just to make me jump. New Shire Hall won’t be the same without him, and I don’t think I’ve fully accepted that he won’t be there each week. He spoke so often and so fondly about the plans he and Kevin had, and he was always so excited when talking about his wedding. His love for Kevin was unmistakable. Reading through all these messages shows exactly who Luke was — warm, funny, kind, and deeply loved. I hope these words bring even a small amount of comfort to Kevin and his family as they navigate their grief and the enormous space Luke has left behind. I feel truly blessed to have known him. He will be very, very missed….

  I was really sad to hear about Tim’s passing. I wasn’t as close to him as the Hall/School House contemporaries, but over the years we shared several social and sportting events (often combined), and those memories have stayed with me. He had a way of making you feel welcome, included, and at ease, even if you weren’t part of his closest circle. On the sporting side he was much better than me, but never felt inferior on the same team. He had the ability to being the best out of people with his warmth, humour, and his genuine kindness in whatever aspect of life.  My thoughts are with his family and everyone who loved him. Although he has left this physical world too early, I hope the many memories of TIm and bonds formed with him bring comfort and strength.  …

I still remember the first time I met Luke. I’d come in to meet the team before starting a new job. I was struck by his kind words and reassuring smile. On getting to know him better I found that he was rarely without that smile or that kindness. He soon became my line manager and in that role I knew he always had my back. His support and encouragement helped me get out of my comfort zone and try something new.   Luke was much more than a manager to me though, he was a friend, a good friend. One I stayed in touch with even after moving to another job in another country. One who’d joke about visiting my, in his words ‘swanky flat in Glasgow’. One who’s support I will always remember during one of the hardest times of my life. After the loss of my husband, Luke showed genuine care and compassion, not only as a colleague but as a true friend.   I can’t express how much this kindness meant to me. It’s something I will never forget – I will always carry it with me.   I’m so, so sorry to Kevin, his…

Mark you were an amazing man, you had so much passion for everything close to your heart. Always giving to make people’s lives better and you certainly did that for Alison. I’m so glad you found each other again later in life and had so much fun together. It’s so cruel that you were taken  far to soon, you both had so much more to do and see together. Thank you for making Alison so happy.  Sleep on peacefully Mark. Xx…

Mr Todd, ever organising, fair, funny and master of football on the hack. Threading those passes. Thank you for everything. MS….
