Tributes

Berys and I extend our deepest sympathy to Brian’s family. He was a versatile, highly rated and widely respected colleague during his career in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. He was popular with Ministry staff at all levels, having a great sense of teamwork as well as a strong intellect and keen sense of humour. He showed great courage throughout his long struggle with ill health. Brian will be long and well remembered by all of us who had the privilege of working with him .
