In December the sad and shocking news broke that our industry colleague Hugh Wallace had passed away. Hugh was a good friend to HAI. He was the main speaker, and the main attraction when we ran our Empty Homes Roadshow a couple of years ago and he chaired our Innovation Awards in 2019, 2022 & 2024 as part of The Hardware Show.
Throughout the years he was an advocate of many HAI campaigns, a contributor to The Hardware Journal and a persuasive and engaging media presence. He was always generous in sharing his vast knowledge of building and architecture which he imparted with charm and humour. He will be much missed.
