I had the pleasure of working with John at BT for many years. He was a fantastic colleague who was hugely respected by the teams he worked with and also his customers. Nothing was too much trouble for John and he will be greatly missed by us all. My thoughts are with his family and everyone who knew him at this difficult time.
