Julian Niman the founder and driving force of Nimans has passed away this morning. The 64-year old died at his Manchester home.
Fellow Director and friend David Bennett said Julian regarded all his staff as family.
He said it was a huge shock but stressed the board of directors will continue to run the company as ‘Julian would want us to and continue his legacy’.
David told the workforce:
“Julian saw all of us here as his family and he would want us to carry on serving the customer and running the business in his memory.“Many of us have known Julian for many years and we will have to support one another through this difficult time. We will share details of the funeral as soon as they are available.”
UC Today says: On a personal note, I have met Julian on a number of occasions; indeed he has been an ever-present part of the comms industry since my first involvement in the early 90s and of course long before then. Our Publisher, Rob Scott also knew Julian and we were both shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.
RIP Julian Niman.
