John McCloughlin Passes

    We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of John McLoughlin who died peacefully at home on the 19th July following his battle with cancer. Our sincerest condolences to his wife Carol, children James and Sarah, and grandchildren.
    After graduating in French language and working as a teacher in France, John joined Bell-Fruit in the1970s as a management trainee which led on to him becoming a regional manager for the Northern operating division. He later joined Allied Breweries as machines manager before being appointed Sales Director at the machine manufacturing business ACE. Following the JPM acquisition and integration of ACE, John became Sales Manager of the joint brands. John’s career then took him back to Bell-Fruit as Sales Director where he was pivotal in the company’s success in the post millennium years until his retirement in 2018.
    John’s funeral will be held at 1100 on Thursday 10th August at St Augustine’s Church, Woodborough Road, Nottingham NG3 4QF.
