Optician is sad to report that trustee and former chair of the Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT), Rodney Powell, died on September 25.
Powell, who was Thomas Pocklington’s great nephew, was awarded an MBE in this year’s New Year’s Honours for his services to blind and partially sighted people.
Charles Colquhoun, CEO at TPT said: ‘It is a real loss to the charity in terms of his contribution to its governance but more so for staff and board members personally. Rodney was an incredibly warm person and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife and family.’
