Nine months ago, we were devastated to lose our dear colleague and friend, Gareth Sumner-Jones, who passed away suddenly in September 2025 at the age of 55 while on holiday with his partner Mark, who is also a director at our group business (SPG).
Gareth joined The Fulfilment People (TFP) in 2009 and worked tirelessly to build and shape the business into what it is today. As the leader of TFP, he was deeply people-focused and had a genuine passion for customer service, values that remain central to our business and continue to influence how we work every day.
His impact on TFP was so significant that he will always remain part of our team and his legacy continues to live on through the people and culture he helped build.
Last Wednesday was a poignant day for all of us at TFP. We came together to hold a ceremony in his honour and to unveil Gareth's Garden and a stunning, handmade bench at TFP House in Newark. The garden will serve as a visual reminder of a beautiful soul who was very much the heart of TFP and offers a quiet space for us to remember Gareth and reflect upon the words of wisdom and encouragement he spoke to us over the years.
He is greatly missed, but never forgotten.
