Obituary

We are sad to share the news that David Michael Hart passed away peacefully on Sunday 7 June, aged 76. David was a past master and treasurer of the Worshipful Company of Launderers, honorary secretary of the Whitsters Club and secretary of the Society of Laundry Engineers and Allied Trades (SLEAT).

David was a great advocate for the industry and had such character. Here at Laundry & Cleaning Today we were honoured to have known David and thought extremely highly of him. We were so appreciative of the support he afforded our business and in particular for his role as a highly valued member of the judging panel for the Laundry & Drycleaning Awards – the LADAs – for many years.

David will also be remembered as an AFC Wimbledon fanatic and for his love for all things transport including the famous RouteMaster buses.

He was a loving husband to Jane, stepdad to Eve and grandpa Davo to Elouise. David will be greatly missed by all who knew him. On behalf of the industry may we send our thoughts and prayers to David’s family and friends at this sad time.
