Tribute to John Mortimer
SWLEP Board Member and Chair 2015-2020
By Paddy Bradley , SWLEP Chief Executive Officer
It is with great sadness that we report the death of John Mortimer , ardent supporter of LEPs locally and nationally and champion of all things rural . John passed away on the 15th September from cancer .
John was absolutely passionate about his work with the Swindon & Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership . He brought a real sense of purpose and took us through some challenging times , leading us through incorporation into a Limited Company .
John was conscious of all the different groups that work within the Swindon and Wiltshire area , ensuring that no group was left behind , and everyone had their voice . He was also passionate about the levelling up of the rural communities , way before the Government set it as a priority .
John was very good at maintaining relationships and ensuring that people work together for local success .
The legacy he has left is a very strong SWLEP , highly rated by Government , financially secure , and able to offer the kind of support through our Growth Hub which is also extremely well regarded by both government and our customers .
We thank John for all his hard work and dedication over the years and offer our sincere condolences to his wife , Carole , and all the Mortimer family .
