Sad news

[V8Druid]

James Mulholland PMed me on FB earlier, asking if this was who he thought it was? ... sadly it is ..
have also had it confirmed by two mutual friends since, one of whom tells me, he took his own life
sent him a happy new years txt on Wed.s and wondered why i'd not heard back (or had this years calendar, off him, as usual )
RIP Ollie ( @Komatsu )

Looks like no age to be leaving us, wonder what the back story was. Terrible.

Not to detract from this, but I've a funeral to attend in a few days, took his own life, proper sick feeling when I heard about it. So I dare say I know the feelings of people who knew him.

Always sad news...especially when you never knew they were struggling.

Terrible news to read!! I hadn’t heard much off him for afew years..

He'd not long bought a Multione and had his logo on the roof. He always took pride in his plant. May he rest in peace.

My brother's mate went missing 2 years ago. He overdosed and the SOS in his discovery jeep saved him as he slumped over the steering wheel. Thankfully he has made a full recovery and raised a fair few pound for charity since.

Yeah lot of it about. It's hard thing to notice on mates/folks. Even if you ask them if they are OK, they will say yes

 

[Giles]

That’s a shock, he text me just before Xmas about his new trailer for the multi one and a grab.

Thoughts are with his family Xmas can be a tough time.

 

[Gunners]

I’m really sad to hear this. Spoke to him only a month or so ago as he had just completed his CPCS card conversion from the grandfather rights one he had before. Had bought a multione this year and seemed to have plans for the future.
Whatever the reason it’s too young to go.
Always enjoyed chatting with him, shame I never got to meet him in person. I’ll miss his calls

 

[Regy53]

holy fuckkkkk this is real sad i had spoken with him not so long ago as he called for advise on a small compact loader, he called to say he got a multione and loved it. we have a 10 min confo and he sent me some pics of it in action.

This makes me feel sick how sad

I think he was one of the first people i did buisness with from the old CE days selling his crusher bucket. As with all things like this it does send you back a few steps, absolutly horrible.

 

[Lancs Lad]

Terrible news, always enjoyed his linkedin posts only just saw some this week. Always loved his setups and attention to detail.

I've spoken to a lot of business owners lately who seem pretty naffed off and feel a lots stacked against them trying to run a business. Not sure I've ever felt a time like it.

Very sad news, I didn’t know him that well and hadn’t spoken to him in a long time but he helped me out about 12 years ago with a lot of information for my final thesis in university back in the CEF days, seemed a real genuine guy. You just don’t know what demons a person is battling in their head. Rest in peace Ollie.

Got told earlier in the week. Great shame and used to have chats and a bit of craic on the phone.

Couple people have said about the fact people dont ring.... Having had a few people I know do this the reality is they don't and once the mind is set for whatever reason there is nothing bar physically intervening that'll chance that course.

Very sad, utter waste. But you can only respect there wishes and reasons.

 

[TiltyShaun]

Sad news. Only knew him through the forums and he was always willing to give sound advice.
May he rest in peace.

 

[Simon edwards]

very sad.

What triggers this. I can't remember growing up anyone doing it but that maybe due to lack of media.
I often wonder if it's down to the chemicals in our food etc

 

[CPS]

I'm very sad and shocked to hear this.

Spoke to Ollie a good few times at shows etc. Was a nice fella.

Unfortunately its a far to common thing. Had a friend do it just before Christmas too. You just never know a person's situation.

2024 was a s**t year in business in many ways for for me too..... but you just have to re jig and change things.... its never that bad..

Very easy to say "if he'd only talked to someone now"

I like to talk lads, phones always on if anyone wants a chat
