Dear All,

Welcome to the October 2026 edition of Ensemble.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our long-standing friend and much-respected colleague, David Blyth.

Some of you will have known David personally, while others will have had the privilege of working alongside him throughout his career. David was Property Director at ATG for many years and was a key member of the team that helped build and grow the business from nothing over more than 20 years. His contribution to the success of ATG was fundamental, and his commitment, experience and dedication earned him the respect of colleagues across the industry.

The news of David’s passing has come as a terrible shock, and we know that many who knew and worked with him will be struggling to come to terms with this heartbreaking loss. David was not only a valued colleague but also a long-standing friend, and he leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.

Howard and I send our love and deepest condolences to David’s beloved husband, Hugh. Having shared 45 years together, the loss of David is unimaginable, and our hearts go out to Hugh during this incredibly difficult time.

David will be remembered with great affection, admiration and respect by all those fortunate enough to have known him. His contribution to the business and the friendships he built along the way will endure long after his passing.

Our thoughts are with Hugh, David’s family, friends and former colleagues at this very sad time.

Rest in peace, David. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Enjoy reading this month’s Ensemble, and until next time, take care of yourselves.

Best wishes
Rosemary
