Brian Moore

Brian was a dear friend and will be missed tremendously. Brian always lit of the room with his spark in his eyes, smile and laughter, warmth and kindness - and of course, his heartwarming stories and banter - .I feel so fortunate to have had an opportunity to know Brian - he will be deeply missed. Thinking of you & sending love .

Loved Brian: when I first got to know him I was just starting out, so was always a bit nervous around company secretaries. Brian, one if the kindest people I knew, put me at ease straight away. I will always remember that, as well his personal view that formality was a nuisance that got in the way of proper relationships! Thank you Brian, I'll miss you

To Brian’s family,

Brian was an incredible professional, full of knowledge, commitment, and integrity. He was someone people trusted and respected deeply, and working with him was a privilege.

More than anything, he loved his family. He spoke often about how much he was looking forward spending more time with you. Knowing how important that was to him makes his passing, just as that chapter was about to begin, even more heartbreaking.

He will be remembered with great respect, and he will be deeply missed.

Brian. One of life’s good guys. Always willing to help. Always available with sound advice. Always upbeat and positive. Always talking about his family. A voice of reason. Sadly missed. So very sad. Ian

To Brian’s family,
Although I left Playtech many years ago, I was actually the person who first interviewed Brian. I knew he would be a good fit because of his sense of humour and unflappable demeanour. He was a lovely lovely man and I am very sorry for your loss. We lost one of the good guys.

Beloved Yvonne, Rachel, Robert, Arthur and family,
My name is Dafna Perlmutter, and I had the privilege and honour of working with Brian for many years in my role at Howden Insurance Brokers, during his time at Playtech.
What began as a purely professional relationship quickly grew into something far more meaningful. It became clear almost immediately that Brian was not just a business counterpart – he was a truly special person. Warm, kind, fair and endlessly approachable. he had a remarkable way of making everyone around him feel respected, heard and valued.
Brian combined deep professionalism with a wonderful sense of humor and genuine humanity. He was someone you could rely on completely – steady, wise and principled – and at the same time, he was simply a joy to work with.
Over the years, it was impossible not to miss how profoundly he loved his family and how proud he was of you all. It was clear that you were at the very center of his world.
I treasure the memories of the many dinners we shared in London after long, intense meetings with insurers. Those evenings were always full of laughter, good food and more than a little alcohol. It was during those relaxed moments, when the workday was finally behind us, that Brian speak about you – his special family. I always looked forward to those dinners, because that was when I truly felt I was getting to know all of you through his stories, and to feel the warmth, humour and love that surrounded him at home.
Yvonne, I feel as though we’ve known each other for years, simply from the way Brian spoke about you. The bond between you always sounded so wonderful – full of love, partnership and deep mutual respect.
Rachel and Robert, I heard so many stories about you over the years. Brian was so incredibly proud of you both – of who you are and of the paths you chose in life.
But above all, Brian spoke about Arthur and the happiness and light he brought into his life. For Brian, Arthur was not only a beloved grandson, but a true source of strength, purpose and hope. It was clear that every moment he spent with Arthur –filled his heart. The way he spoke about Arthur left no doubt that this love will always live on, and that a part of Brian will continue to be present in Arthur’s life, in his memories and in the many stories you will keep sharing with him.
I know that losing Brian so suddenly is a terrible blow for all of you. And yet, from everything I heard over the years, I truly believe – that you are a close, loving and united family, and that you will keep living, loving and holding on to one another. Brian had the biggest heart of anyone I have met, and I am proud to say that he was my friend.
I am deeply saddened by his passing. The news of his loss has left a real emptiness in the hearts of all of us who had the good fortune to work with him and to know him. His integrity, kindness and gentle spirit have left a lasting mark, and he will be remembered with great respect and affection.
Please accept my heartfelt and deepest condolences. My thoughts are very much with you at this painful and difficult time, and I hope you can find some comfort in the love, admiration and gratitude so many people feel for Brian.
With deepest sympathy,
Dafna Perlmutter

Dearest Yvonne, Rachel, Robert, Arthur and family

I was truly devasted and shocked to hear of Brian’s sudden passing. It has hit us all hard at Playtech and I can’t begin to imagine how it has impacted the family.

Brian was one of the very good guys, always there for people to lean on professionally and personally, give advice and support, and find solutions to help solve the latest company crisis – we had a few!! Brian always remained steadfast and a real team player. He would travel to and from Ireland to the Isle of Man and ran the IOM office for many years – the ladies (and men) who worked with him there were well aware that he was the glue and fabric in the IOM office and they worshipped him for it.

Brian welcomed me in the door when I joined Playtech some 9 years ago (when he was already a couple of years into his tenure) and we enjoyed a very healthy relationship from the get-go. We both loved our sport and liked to chat about football (and rugby) despite his allegiances to Man United and mine to Arsenal. I am also well aware that I used to drive him slightly mad with my constant work chasing and he would assure me that he “would take care of it” and “get it sorted” – and, ultimately, he always did. When he was about to go on holiday, he would often joke – well half-joke – that Yvonne had made a special request for me to not “join” them this time as it had felt like I had been with them on some of their well earned breaks.

The love and affection which Brian had for Yvonne was always so apparent when we discussed family matters. He simply adored her and always spoke about her in such glowing terms – even when she hammered him at golf which was of course on a regular basis. Brian was clearly a great family man and it was clear that he was loved and revered by many both in his personal life and in the workplace. He always spoke glowingly about Rachel and Robert and his pride for them and the lives they had built …and of course Arthur (his grandson but more like a younger son to him). Arthur gave Brian so much pleasure and I particularly enjoyed hearing about Arthur (who is a similar age to my sons) and seeing photos of him growing up and developing into a fine young man.

Brian had so many great human qualities and would always take the time to enquire about my family. He always told a good yarn, had a fabulous sense of humour, and was generally great value to be around – as I say, truly one of the very good guys and everyone at Playtech (past and present) was so fond of him and will miss him dearly. We are all so shocked and it all seems so unfair, particularly as he had only just recently retired to enjoy more time with his family that he so loved.

I hope these words provide a small crumb of comfort to the family.

Heartfelt condolences,

Alex Latner
