So very sad to hear the news of Paul losing his life in an accident on his 90th birthday. I worked for the Shorrock family after leaving school at 16. They were always very kind to me and I have many happy memories of my seven years employment with their company. Paul…… May you rest in Peace and rise in glory 🙏
