Six months ago, I lost my beautiful wife, Lisa 💔 , leaving behind our three children – Indie, Gracie, and Rudy. As a family, we’ve faced the toughest challenge of our lives, yet together we’ve grown stronger.
Indie has just started Year 11, Gracie celebrates her 14th birthday this Sunday, and Rudy, our youngest, has gone back to school in Year 4. Watching them support each other, step up, and show resilience beyond their years has been both humbling and inspiring.
We spent much of the summer at our holiday home in Dorset – lovingly named Casa Lisa – where we created new memories while cherishing old ones. Last Sunday would have marked 30 years since Lisa and I first met. While the void of losing her will never be filled, the strength I’ve found in my family, friends, colleagues, and wider network has helped me to begin adjusting to this new reality.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has been there for me – from my LinkedIn connections to colleagues across our group, including
Duncan & Toplis,
Castlegate Financial Management,
Datcom,
Beavis Morgan LLP,
BM Connect Limited,
Kinbrook Group and beyond. Your kindness, patience, and support have meant more than words can express.
Life has changed in ways I never imagined, but one thing I’ve learned is that even in the hardest times, the love and strength of those around you can help you carry on. 💗
