The incredibly sad news about Tim has brought back many lovely memories of working with him at Oak House from April 2007 until I retired in 2011, and then occasional days of archiving at the Institute’s then offices in Linford Wood.
His role was so pivotal that it was always a concern when installing a new member of staff – but I can well recall that by the end of his very first day I knew we had made a solid gold decision. Gradually over the weeks and months he became indispensable, popular with members, reliable with staff and constantly effective in all aspects of his work for directors.
He was a key player in the administration of conferences and annual general meetings in Brighton, Birmingham, Chester and Bournemouth.
He was quickly appointed membership manager and willingly participated in Judging Days, Fellowship meetings and celebrating our 60th anniversary.
Tim was also an intrinsic cog in the organisational wheel that drove through the change from Council meetings to Board meetings, and in the metamorphosis into becoming an Institute in 2010.
And again he was invaluable in helping me research the history of the BAIE/BACB/CiB/IoIC covering 1949 to 2011 and the history of CiB/IoIC from up to pre lockdown days.
Kind, dependable, thoughtful and with a great sense of humour – he will be sadly missed and my thoughts go out to his wife Sue.
