Dave Marlor: An 'inspiration and moral compass'

Prior to joining Glaisyers, Dave spent 15 years at Kuit Steinart Levy in Manchester, having completed his law degree at the University of Leicester in 2001.

David Jones said: 'Dave was our friend, colleague and leader. He wasn’t just our managing partner, he was our inspiration and moral compass.

'He led Glaisyers through Brexit, a global pandemic and general macro-economic malaise. He did so with a smile, a quiet confidence, generosity and a touch of verve.

'Dave’s love of impractical cars and trucks (TVR and GMC mechanics all over the North West will mourn his loss), baked goods and, above all, his dear wife Sam, were legendary. We send our deepest condolences to her, his parents and his brother Andy.

'Whilst we can’t believe he has really gone, we will endeavour to keep his legacy going. We will remember to ask, ‘What would Dave do/say?’ as often as possible.'

A book of condolence, for those who would like to share their memories of Dave, is open.
