On behalf of the whole team, I would also like to thank the enormous number of people who have contacted us to share their feelings and generous tributes following the sad loss of Alun. He is much missed for his skills, knowledge, intelligence and kindness. This is a testing and difficult time for the whole team, and we are enormously proud of their response.”
