I knew Harry from his time at National Grid.  We only overlapped for about 6 months but I immediately got to appreciate Harry’s great sense of humour and his generally positive nature.  He left a gap when he left National Grid and we stayed in touch afterwards – we actually caught up over lunch not too long ago.

I was shocked by the news of his sudden passing, and I’m deeply saddened. The messages and pictures on this site are a tribute to how much Harry will be missed.  I wish Flavia and his family and friends all the strength  during this difficult time. – Seb

I’m privileged and thankful to have known and worked with Harry. At work, Harry’s entrepreneurial passion for all things new and green were infectious, and clearly stemmed from a wider desire to make the world a better place. He did this in many ways: through his work, his insightful comments, his support of his family, local community and friends, and his dry sense of humour which frequently brought smiles to his friends, family and colleagues. Harry’s passing was far too soon; I’ll miss chatting with Harry, and I know he’ll be missed by all who knew him.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

Best wishes, Nick

Harry brought great humour and a zest for life to whatever he was doing. He was wonderful company, whether in the office or over dinner. Harry’s spirit was a one-off. He will be missed. – Tim

Harry was, without doubt, one of the most interesting people I have known. His mind worked in a way that was genuinely unlike anyone else’s. At National Grid, he would let off sparks of conversation and thought that were sometimes a little chaotic, but more often insightful, and then seem genuinely surprised we hadn’t already thought of them, so obvious they were to him!

Harry thought so deeply about things, and so differently about things: whether they were right, whether they were as they should be, whether they could promote happiness. As someone who too often focuses on meeting the next deadline, and the next, that often gave me pause and made me think. Harry was taken unfairly and too soon, and it is so hard to believe he is not out there somewhere spilling cereal everywhere and talking passionately about the future of renewables. I can’t begin to imagine your loss. But knowing even just a little of how he thought, I believe that in the time he had he truly lived.

Please accept my condolences and warm wishes. – Becky & Sophie
