Mark Lawson of LawsonKeys Ltd said:

“It will be a mighty blow to those who came to know him through work connections, who were trained and mentored by him, and by the many colleagues and ex-managers who continued to contact him when they needed a problem solving.

“A man who enjoyed local hobbies, travel, family time and was governed by his bible – the Screwfix directory. He left this land far, far too early.”
