I was saddened to hear of the passing on of Michael, we spent a number of occasions together during his sales visits to New Zealand. He was an absolute professional and taught me a lot about solution selling alongside demonstrating professionalism. We always enjoyed a drink after work alongside good conversation. He will be greatly missed by the Security Industry but will leave a legacy with those of us He influenced over the years.

Re Thursday although a very sad day remember it is a celebration of life. I am sure he would not want people to mope over his departure. We in the UK will be reaising a glass or two and say bon voyage and Rip

We have such wonderful memories of Mike including Christmas, bonfire parties and dinners at Amberlea and Jason’s. Always with a glass of either Champagne or Whiskey, a warm smile and an easy conversation. He was a kind man and his devotion to Shan always evident.
We’re very sorry for your loss.

Im truly saddened to hear Mike has left us. I likened him to a cat. Just when you thought his time was over, he would surprise by picking himself up and soldiering on. But in the end, a cat only has nine lives.
It has been my absolute pleasure to serve you both over what must be more than 15 years. The old bugger could be grumpy, but he had a big heart. He always treated me with the upmost respect.
