Our Sincerest Condolences to the family of who in our option was one of Kent’s Gentlest Giants.
Had the pleasure of working with Stuart for 7 years in various roles. He will be sorely missed.
Rest Easy Brother
We are today mourning the loss of one of our Management Team, who sadly and suddenly passed away on Saturday 25th April following a major heart attack.
Stuart Hogben had worked for the company for a number of years and performed a variety of roles within the organisation. Stuart was a very popular team player, a friend to everyone, and someone who would always light up the room on any occasion. He will be truly missed by so many who worked with him across multiple deployments, including some of our major events over the years.
Stuart was a devoted family man. He adored his wife, Becky, and his three children, Elliot, Oakley, and Poppy.
All at Right Guard Solutions are naturally devastated by this sad and shocking news, which we share with our wider network.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the security team at the Bullring in Birmingham and to West Midlands Ambulance Service for their combined efforts on Saturday.
Please respect the family’s privacy at this very difficult time.
Tony Smith, Managing Director
