Obituary – Nigel Holmes

It is with great regret that we have to inform you that on the 1st July 2011 Nigel Holmes, aged 63, the founder and Chairman of the Gemini Group sadly passed away. Nigel had a massive heart attack on 6th March, but despite receiving the best care possible at the Royal Sussex County Hospital  the damage was too great for him to overcome.  He leaves behind his partner Julie and his four children Kim, Emma, Alex and Alastair. His Private Funeral Service was held on 19th July, 2011, followed in the afternoon by a celebration of Nigel's life, that was well attended by friends and loved ones.

The running of Gemini Press and the Group has been taken over by a board of directors which are based at Gemini press. Steve Cropper, managing director said that "It was a terrible shock and has been a tough time for the Group and employees to come to terms with, but as Nigel would say "the show must go on". So, with this thought in mind its business as usual.

Nigel was a keen supporter of the Sussex Wildlife Trust and therefore if anyone wishes to remember Nigel by way of a donation please make cheques payable to the Sussex Wildlife Trust c/o Caring Lady Funeral Directors, 38 Blatchington Road, Hove, BN3 3YH.
