Stuart Irvine 1976 to 2022

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of our friend and colleague Stuart Irvine.

Stuart passed away suddenly on Monday 14 November 2022. Our thoughts are with his wife Amanda; son Cameron; daughter Olivia and his parents. We offer our deepest sympathies to them and to all Stuart’s family and friends.

Stuart joined Turley in Southampton in November 2005. His passion for planning and life were immediately obvious as were his natural and authentic warmth for people; calm authority; and dry sense of humour.

Stuart was asked to lead our Southampton office in 2013. The team was well-established but Stuart was ambitious for growth. He helped to extend our work along the South Coast and further into the Home Counties. It was natural that Stuart would play a leading role in establishing our team in Reading and in identifying the potential for our Cambridge office.

He became a Senior Director and joined our Leadership Team in 2018. His combination of strategic perspective and grasp of detail enriched our thinking and improved our decision-making. Stuart would rarely be the first with an opinion; would listen carefully to others; yet would always bring a fresh and distinctive perspective.

Stuart was in equal measure well-respected and well-liked. A genuine people-person, he was always selfless with his time; self-effacing in his approach; and self-deprecating with his humour.

He relished all aspects of ‘company life’. Where he had something to add he was a willing volunteer who would bring energy, commitment and insight to any task. He brought this same commitment to team and company events. He was as eager to roll up his sleeves for a charitable cause as he was to throw himself down a water-slide at team days out. He also loved to play golf and sail when the opportunity arose, ever the gracious host and always with an eye on ensuring everyone had a good time.  

Stu: you will be missed beyond words and always in our thoughts.

Rest in peace.

All your friends and colleagues at Turley

Stuart Irvine
