Joachim died peacefully on 26th April 2020 at Cheltenham General Hospital after contracting Covid-19. It was only a month after his 66th birthday.

An international company director, mentor and friend to many, Joachim leaves his wife Tricia, sons Michael, Piers and Toby, and granddaughters Ava, Florence and Edith.

His absence will be a huge loss to his family and to the many close friends who loved him most dearly.

Donations given in loving memory to help support the doctors, nurses and staff in the Intensive Care Unit at Cheltenham General Hospital, who continue to battle so bravely against Covid every day, and who provided such love and care to Joachim, will be able to fund their future educational needs.

Also the fund will be supporting, as part of Joachim's legacy in business, the seed capital to help others on their business journey to go out and realise their ambitions in starting a company. This will be distributed and supported through his son's End of 9 to 5 project.
