The passing of Keith Chilvers yesterday has devastated so many people. The news quickly circulated around social media, causing an out pouring of grief.
Since we announced the terrible news, we have received an overwhelming amount of people sharing their memories and condolences.
Condolences
I don't think I have the right words to describe just how much of a top man Keith was - but I'll give it a go: passionate, focussed, determined; clever, kind, funny; warm, open, friendly.
You were a force to be reckoned with, without ever being anything but the consummate gentleman. Excellent at everything you turned your hand to.
You will leave a big gap - but also leave a legacy of things you have built from the ground up, and hopefully a whole group of people who share in your vision and methods.
I'm going to miss your energy, your vigour and your dedication. You truly were one of a kind - cut from a cloth that there's very little left of these days.
Rest in peace.
