Just a quick one to the family and friends of Ian Latham (aka Bones as I knew him). I worked with Ian at Coleman Manufacturing in Burton from 2010 to 2019. I think he left a couple of times but I got to know him fairly well. We and other lads would talk **** about this and that in the smoking hut day in and day out. He often spoke about his two boys and the antics they got up to.

I bumped into a former colleague who told me the grim news of his death in November 2024 (he died in June 2024). Anyway, I’m not one for speeches, so I’d just like to send out my condolences to all who knew him, especially his family as we get near to Christmas.

He was one of those guys I’d have enjoyed randomly bumping into in Derby and having a catch up with.
