Although based in King’s Lynn he regularly visited our Lowestoft office – his arrival was never a quiet affair, it was more as if a booming whirlwind had arrived and he could lift the mood of an office in an instant. He was a larger than life character and we all feel honoured to have had the pleasure of working with him, to be part of his team and to be his friend.
The kind letters of condolence that the company has received have reinforced the level of respect and liking that people outside of the company had for John. Words such as approachable, professional and knowledgeable are a common theme.
As we all know companies such as Knights Warner are a sum of the all the people who work for them and they continue to grow and manage change, however sad that change may be. For many of us though John was special and meant so much more to us than just a work colleague – he was a true friend, a trusted confidant and leaves a large void in many of our lives. |
