We were deeply saddened to hear that our dear friend and colleague Richard Skipper passed away last Friday after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

Joining Investigo in 2009, Rich enjoyed a successful career with us and proved integral in shaping our business and our culture. He was known across The IN Group as one of the kindest, most genuine and caring people you could ever meet, embodying everything that’s good not just in our business, but in people.

Happily going out of his way for others and expecting nothing in return, Rich was always available to give a word of advice, make a kind gesture or crack a wry joke to put a smile on your face when you needed it. He’ll be remembered as a legend of our business and although he’ll be sorely missed, we’re all incredibly lucky to have had Skip as a friend and colleague.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this incredibly difficult time.

Martlets Hospice went above and beyond to support Rich during the last week of his life. His family have set up a fundraising page to honour his memory, with all the proceeds going towards supporting the hospice’s valuable work. If you’d like to make a donation, please visit their JustGiving page.
