I would like to send my condolences to Alan’s family and friends on your sad loss. I’ve known AH for around 30 years. I got to know and work alongside him in the old Braby Days working on various projects around the country and later at Reyam. One of my best memories was working on a muffin plant in London. I was standing one side of an ingredient container, Al on the other and without speaking we both looked at the brownish powder to be added to the mix, testing it by rubbing between our fingers then tasting at the same time we both said chocolate, this is going to be difficult and both started laughing which was the norm when things weren’t going to plan (very professional). He was a great guy who will be sadly missed by all who knew and worked with him. Les Neath ex Braby and Reyam.
