It is with sadness that we pay tribute to our former Market Director, Gethyn Davies who passed away today at the age of 56.
Gethyn, a well respected titan of the automotive refinish industry began his career with Brown Brothers Distribution 1991, moving on to ICI and then PPG. Gethyn held multiple roles in our business, excelling at each with tenacity, vigor and a drive to succeed that was rarely matched. He ultimately assumed the role of Market Director Refinish UK & Ireland where all of his attributes made the business the success it is still know for.
Gethyn’s successes at PPG will always be remembered but will always be outshone by his friendly manner and outstanding personability to all that he met. Gethyn would always go out of his way to spend time to speak to all members of staff, making everyone feel welcomed and valued, for Gethyn began his career as an apprentice in a Brown Brothers branch and understood full heartedly that “it takes a village” to make a business a success.
Gethyn leaves behind a legacy that will be rarely matched, we will remember the many good times, laughs, drinks and accomplishments.
Rest in peace Gethyn, thank you for your leadership and friendship.
