It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the sudden passing of our MD Alistair Cook on Sunday 11th September.
Alistair had just achieved his ambition of climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, but sadly passed away unexpectedly on his way down the mountain.
As a mark of respect we shall be closing the office for the day of the funeral, unfortunately due to the difficult logistics involved we have not been able to confirm a date yet, but we shall inform you as soon as we have further information.
Alistair founded the business in 1977 and was an energetic driving force, building it into the successful family business it is today. We will continue to build the business and look forward to welcoming the next generation into the business in the future.
Sam, Richard & Alex

I'm sorry to hear this too. I did not know him, but I offer my deepest sympathy. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
