As you may be aware, Richard Duvall, our co-founder and CEO, passed away in October shortly after being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 9th January) we will be holding a memorial service for him in St Martins-in-the-fields church, in Trafalgar Square, London. The service begins at 6pm, and will be followed by drinks in the crypt.

We’d like to invite anyone who knew Richard, or who would like to join us in celebrating his life, to this event. You can get more details from the web site we have set up.

If anyone would like to contribute to the Richard Duvall Education Fund, please send donations by cheque made payable to the “Richard Duvall Educational Fund” to Zopa, Third Floor, Radiant House , 36-38 Mortimer Street, London W1W7RG

We are also collecting, at his wife’s request, for a charity – Pancreatic Cancer UK. You can donate online here, and all donations are appreciated in helping us reach our target of £10,000.
