Harold Marshall 9th August 1940 - 26th August 2023
We are sorry to have to announce the passing of Industry stalwart Harold Marshall. Born in Bolton, Harold attended Sunning Hill primary school and Bolton County Grammar, founding Vantage Circuit Products Ltd in 1987. Harold was an electro-chemist and worked initially in the laboratory at the former De Havilland aircraft works in Lostock and held senior positions in Imasa Silvercrown before branching out on his own with Chemlec Solutions and latterly with Vantage Circuit Products in Farnworth. He also spent time at TDS during their hay day in the 1980’s. Harold was a very gregarious individual, who always attended the many industry events and was sure to be found on his feet asking questions and thanking speakers. He was a very determined character, who threw himself into every venture, always ready to prove a point or have a jest. He was good company, enjoying his London club and the frequent outings as the pcb Industry expanded. The funeral was held on the 7th September 2023 at Bolton. With Thanks to the people who knew him: Terry Thorpe, Tom Goodall, Alan Beddow, John Dutton, Darryl Birchall, Brian Richards, David Ormerod, Peter Lymm, Phil Ward, Sandy Bryce, Martin Bunce, David Woodley, Ken Dobson, Steve Law, Keith Rickhuss, Ian Mayoh, Stuart McDonald, Terry Boby, Richard Houghton, Rex Rozario, Steve Jones, Richard Wood-Roe.
