It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a much-loved colleague and well-known industry figure.
Chris Bailey (aged just 42) succumbed to his illness in the early hours of this morning.
Many of you have been expressing your love and support for Chris, Ashley and their boys Cole (15) & Jake (11) over the past few months. We can tell you that has meant so much to all of them and to his wider family.
Chris was a valued colleague at Business Micros for many, many years and made a huge contribution to the business. His skill set in understanding operational and machining complexities and ability to add real value for customers was widely acknowledged.
In his last few years, he extended that out into the marketplace working alongside customers and machinery suppliers both at home and abroad.
We will miss him, we will miss his humour, we will miss his casual observations often funny, often accurate and above all we will miss him for the kind, supportive person he was.
Rest in peace.
