Stewart Brown
Stewart was our honorary non-executive chairman until his untimely death in 2021.
An experienced director and chairman who, for twenty years as chief executive, led the growth of BWI plc, a manufacturer and supplier of equipment and services to the pharmaceutical, food and consumer products industries, through its IPO on the London Stock Exchange, to build a £120 million turnover group with operations in the UK, the USA and Europe.
An engineer and Sloan Fellow of the London Business School, he brought huge business management experience to us at Brook Investment Partners. He always made time to listen and understand the issues we faced before providing excellent insight into how we could not just resolve the problems but turn that learning into better processes and actions going forward.
Stewart, you remain in our hearts and will be missed for many years to come.
