Jim was such a lovely man. He had a great sense of humour and I think that was the thing that particularly chimed with me. That sort of cynical world-weary banter always accompanied with a wry smile. Observations that draw you in as you collectively lament your lot in life whilst knuckling down and and getting on with the task in hand. We must have shared a lot of those conversations during the time I spent in Glasgow. I think it was the combination of his particular outlook on life as well as his talent and experience that made working alongside Jim a real pleasure. His loss will be deeply felt by so many people. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Jim Gillies

June 25, 1969 - November 13, 2021

The administrator of this page is Mark Relly

Our friend and colleague, Jim Gillies, passed away at home on Saturday the 13th of November after a long battle with cancer. Jim has been part of SLC for over 16 years working in many teams including FE, DSA, BCF and, for the last 6 years, the Assess Platform. Jim has had a huge influence in all the teams he's worked in, but more importantly he has left a positive lasting impression on so many people he worked with. His loss will be felt much more widely than the Assess Platform and he will be missed by many within SLC. Jim is survived by his wife Aileen and daughter Emma and our thoughts go out to them at this time.
