It is with great sadness that we are mourning the loss of our friend and colleague, Michael Henville, who at 81, passed away on Saturday in hospice close to home. Former partner Michael led our Leeds team in the 1990’s and then after spending some time in our Huddersfield office, returned to Leeds for the latter part of his time with us. Michael was a cornerstone of our team, bringing with him a wealth of experience having worked across many sectors from office and workplace, to leisure and hospitality. Working across the Yorkshire region and beyond, Michael has helped to shape these communities and was an asset to any project he was a part of. He supported and guided many of his colleagues throughout their careers, sharing his knowledge and wisdom, helping them to develop the skills needed to flourish. We fondly remember Michael’s style, commitment and friendship and we are sure that past and present colleagues, clients, consultants and contractors will join us in celebrating Michael’s long and happy career. We send our deepest condolences to Judith, Rosalind and all of Michael’s friends and family.
