It is with great sadness that we share the sudden passing of our dear friend and colleague, Liam Hughes.
Liam dedicated over 40 years of service to Western, becoming a familiar and much-loved figure among colleagues, customers and suppliers alike. He was one of life’s true characters, known for his friendship, kindness, humour and unwavering commitment to the business.
Liam made an immense contribution to Western over four decades, building lasting friendships and relationships that will never be forgotten.
His passing leaves a huge void within our company, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with his wife, Kate, his children, grandchildren, wider family circle and friends at this very difficult time.
Rest in peace, Liam. ❤️
