Dave Newton

We are very sad to let you know the heartbreaking news that current staff member, Dave Newton, tragically lost his life in a road traffic accident on Sunday 19 October 2025.

Dave was a valued and much-loved member of the Domestic Services Team, E&FM since 2013. He began his journey as a Morning Cleaner, progressed to Deep Cleaner, and most recently served with great dedication as Premises Officer on the West Site.

Our heartfelt thoughts and sincere condolences are with his wife Zoe, their children Layton, Tyler, and Ava-Rose, and his mother-in-law Lynda Wilson, who is also part of the Domestic Services Team as a Cleaning Supervisor.

Sarah Roberts, Domestic Services Manager, said: “Dave was someone we could always depend on - calm in a crisis, with an infectious laugh and a wonderful sense of humour. He approached every task with enthusiasm and integrity, treated everyone with genuine kindness, and made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He was more than a colleague; he was a true friend to everyone in the team. Dave will never be forgotten. We will cherish the memories we shared, and his warmth, humour, and spirit will remain with us always.”

Dave’s funeral will be held on Thursday 13 November at 11.45am at Loughborough Crematorium.
