Thank you again for the generosity of those who have donated towards Stuarts Funeral, he has left behind wife Becky and 3 children - Elliot, Oakley and Poppy.

We are today mourning the loss of one of our Management Team, who sadly and suddenly passed away on Saturday 25th April following a major heart attack.

Stuart Hogben had worked for the company for a number of years and performed a variety of roles within the organisation. Stuart was a very popular team player, a friend to everyone, and someone who would always light up the room on any occasion. He will be truly missed by so many who worked with him across multiple deployments, including some of our major events over the years.

Stuart was a devoted family man. He adored his wife, Becky, and his three children, Elliot, Oakley, and Poppy.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the security team at the Bullring in Birmingham and to West Midlands Ambulance Service for their combined efforts on Saturday.

Please respect the family’s privacy at this very difficult time.
