Guy Hawkins
We’re saddened to report the death of Guy Hawkins. Guy joined the family firm of Hawkins Fleet Management before taking over from his father Bryan in 1997. He went on to have a career with Neva Consultants and latterly Fleet Alliance as an appointed representative. Guy was well-known to many brokers and colleagues in the business, and was well-liked for his sociable and effervescent character.
Paying tribute, chair of Fleet Alliance Martin Brown said: “I have known Guy and his extended family for over 25 years, and this is tragic news. Guy was a larger than life character, and operated in the leasing broker sector for his whole career. My condolences go to his wife Catherine, mother Mary and the rest of the Hawkins family.”
A private family funeral will be held, but a service to celebrate his life is to be held in East Molesey, Surrey, in September.
