In loving memory of Richard Arthur Hughes who sadly passed away on 11th August 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Hughes, former CEO of Tamworth Co-operative Society, who died following a recent illness. A dedicated community leader, Richard leaves a lasting legacy through his tireless support for local charities, including Tamworth Heritage Trust, Home-Start, Kingslakes Charitable Trust, Number Eight, Mercian Singers, Tamworth Talking Newspaper, Rawlett Trust, NHS Foundation Trust, and St John’s Ambulance. His commitment to improving lives in Tamworth and beyond will be fondly remembered.

How sad to lose Richard a fabulous boss when I joined Tamworth Co-op in 2005. He had a wealth of retail knowledge and was so supportive of the changes in the Non-Food we made. He was always prepared to listen and had time for people. After Richard retired he became along with Ann great friends with Sue and myself and I will never forget the memories of our time together. Our thoughts are with those he leaves behind.
