It is with great sadness that we share the news that our colleague, Barry Gwynn, who worked as Depot Manager for our logistics operation in Deeside, sadly passed away last week.

Barry was a valued member of the Drivers Direct Recruitment team and will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him. He made a lasting impact through his hard work, commitment, and the relationships he built with colleagues, clients, and drivers alike.
This is an incredibly difficult time for all who knew Barry, and our thoughts, condolences, and love are with his family, friends, and everyone affected by this tragic loss.

We understand this news may be upsetting, and we encourage anyone who may be struggling, to speak with their manager or reach out for support.
Please take a moment to remember Barry and the contribution he made to our business and the people around him.

Rest in peace, Barry. You will not be forgotten
His family and friends have set up a go fund me page to help give Barry the send off he deserves, If anyone would like to help towards this then please see the Link below
