It is with sadness that we announce that John Schofield passed away earlier this week.
John was formerly the acting Managing Director and Finance Director of the Today’s Group and was integral in the merger with Landmark to form Unitas.
Prior to this John was the Finance Director at Nisa-Today’s and left as part of the demerger to create the Today’s Group.
John retired following the formation of Unitas. He developed a brain tumour and died this week following an illness.
John Kinney Unitas MD, said: “I have tremendous respect for John, he was not only an excellent Finance Director but also a genuinely true gentleman and friend. I have very fond memories of my time working with John. He was instrumental in the formation of both the Today’s Group and also Unitas. John will be sadly missed and my deepest condolences go to Dawn and family.”
