It was with sincere sadness that I received the news of
Richard's death from you this morning. He was a person of
great integrity and thoroughly deserved the respect he enjoyed
from his peers and the wider financial services industry.
For my part, as you know, I first met Richard at the beginning
of the Parmenion story when you could barely put out a five a
side team! But despite being brand new and unknown he
persuaded me to be an early adopter of what was, with his drive
and enthusiasm, to become a fantastic company. I think above
all else he knew that getting the right people in the company
was going to be key to Parmenion's success and so it proved.
I shall remember him for a few sparky conversations we had,
that he really seemed to enjoy and for his obvious intelligence
and thoughtfulness. In an industry which seems to have more
than its fair share of self aggrandising and self publicising
blowhards, Richard was a genuine and extremely likeable
person. Mostly though, I shall remember him for being a very
decent, nice man. He will be missed.
Our thoughts are with his family and everyone at Parmenion.
Very best wishes
