As you may or may not be aware one of our long serving drivers Paul Cole passed away at home on Sunday afternoon after suffering a heart attack at the age of 49.

Paul was a much-loved member of the Nicholls team, a driver who would help anyone who he came across with a smile and would always go the extra mile for the company and his colleagues.

On a personal note, Paul was somebody that I have known for the past 6 and a half years both in a working and non-working capacity and it was an absolute pleasure to call him my friend.

He leaves behind his twin 13 year old boys Ollie and Alfie and after speaking to his Mum Pauline and his brother Alan they have advised me that they are happy for a go fund me page to be set up towards the funeral costs and for the boys futures, however the family have requested it is not shared on social media and is kept within the company so please respect their wishes.

Pauline will let me know details of his funeral as soon as she has them, she has informed me that she is more than happy for people from our company to attend as Paul always spoke highly of his fellow drivers and staff here.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to speak to the office.
