The news of Nick’s passing has been felt with great sadness by so many colleagues. I was fortunate to follow Nick into Solihull and Midlands Region as Regional Solicitor, where he had already made friends and the best of impressions. Nick was held in high regard as a person and a lawyer by all colleagues and in the Regional Legal Group we forged close and supportive relationships. Nick was perceptive and sensitive, not only in matters of the law, and had the ability to relate to many people in their own way. I would look forward to joining him before meetings or on the train on our way there. We might share a few words about work and the day’s business, but also family, recent meetings walks, the weekend’s sporting triumphs or disappointments, the latest novel he might be reading or a gig or theatre visit we’d recommend to each other. We united over Bellowhead and appreciation of the finer points of Morecambe and Wise, amongst other things. Nick was highly intelligent, quietly thoughtful and wise, a man of many parts, including a great sense of humour. The sincerest of condolences to Nick’s family and friends on their great loss.
