It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Stort Group’s Founding Director, Kendrick Gilkes.
Kendrick started the business in 1981 alongside his wife, Marguerite, laying the foundations for what would become the Stort Group we know today.
Today, two generations of his family continue to work within the business, a reflection of the close-knit, family nature that has always been at the heart of Stort Group.
His funeral will be held on 13th March, in Oxfordshire where he was born. The office will closed on this day as a sign of respect. If you would like to attend, please reach out to a member of the family.
