The funeral of Andrew Soutar, Tempur area manager for Scotland and Ireland will take place on 3 December.
He died from cancer on 19 November. He was 58.
He had been Tempur area manager for 19 years and was responsible for establishing Tempur with retailers in the countries.
‘Since his cancer diagnosis at the start of the year I have been amazed by his courage and strength to make the most of every day. He was supported incredibly by his wife Clare and his sons Kevin and Calum,’ says Tobin James, Tempur UK and Ireland md.
‘Andrew was one of our foundation stones in the UK and Ireland and his passing leaves a big hole. I have fond memories of interviewing Andrew in a small meeting room on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow in 2005 and it was a good day when he joined the team. Andrew developed fantastic relationships with his retail customers, and he will be greatly missed. This past week has been difficult for many colleagues, but everyone had great stories to share about Andrew and he had a positive impact on everyone that knew him.’
The funeral will take place at 3pm on 3 December at Linn Crematorium in Glasgow followed by drinks at Busby Hotel, Busby, G76 8RX. The family have requested no flowers but donations to Macmillan Cancer Support via www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Iwouldwalk24, which has been set up by the company which will match contributions.
All members of the trade wishing to attend are asked to contact Michelle Heath on [email protected] in order help planning for the funeral.
