"Burgess, Hywel Gordon" Comments
A good bloke is hard to come by – but somehow we ended up with a Welsh one who set the bar pretty high.
Mate, you were more than just an employee – you were part of the fabric of the business. Reliable, genuine, and always up for a laugh. You brought a bit of character to every day, and it was never the same without you.
A true cricket tragic – rain, hail or shine, you’d have an opinion, a stat, or a story. And if there was a glass of Campbells Cab Sav nearby, even better. You knew how to enjoy the good things, and more importantly, how to share them.
It’s blokes like you who make work feel less like work. Loyal, easygoing, and always ready to lend a hand or have a crack.
You’ll be missed Budgie
