David Hesketh

Pffffff.....so sad!

David, you were a one-off who will be sorely missed by all. Following in the wake of his innovative and game-changing visions was always a pleasure and an honour - simply inspirational and a great team-player. Condolences to his much beloved family.

Such sad news. David was a lovely guy and I really enjoyed my time working with him on much of the EU facing work.

"Really sad news. He was one of the best. Give my deepest sympathies to Hazel and the family . RIP Dave." Martin Ludlow

From the first time I heard him speak, David had a profound affect on me. He was a true visionary whose ideas were ahead of his time. He always spoke with true passion and energy even after setbacks and disappointments. His “What’s in the Box” presentations should be essential learning for everyone new to the job (I coined it “The Heskethian Model!”) and we must make sure that his legacy endures. A great man has passed but we are more the better for having known him. RIP David

very sad to hear that he passed away. He was very visionary and innovative in the EU projects that we collaborated with him. Yao-Hua Tan
