Always fair, always kind.
I didn’t realise at the time what a forward thinking man he was, I was young and thought every work place valued women and treated everyone as equals. I later found out that was Ken’s values, how lucky were we all to be managed that way in the 1980’s.
I learnt so much from him. A true mentor. Rest easy Ken x

Ken was a lovely man, a real gentleman and brilliant boss. I had the pleasure of him being my customer and later both my boss and work colleague. He was very supportive to his staff and everyone has such fond memories of working for him. He also loved the fun side of social events outside of work and I particularly remember him dancing on the tables at a Greek restaurant in Birmingham.

Many condolences to all of his family and loved ones.
