It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our colleague and dear friend Colin Knight. Colin had worked with us for many years until his illness. A kind and generous colleague, a consummate professional who always had a solution to that tricky technical issue – ‘ask Colin’ was a regular phrase in the office! Loved by all the team here and respected by all those who had the pleasure of working with him. He will be in our hearts and will be greatly missed by us all.
