So far, donations to the charity have amounted to over £4,000, and for those who would like to make further contributions please visit the Just Giving page entitled “Remembering Alan Lodge”.

“We are overwhelmed by the levels of kindness and generosity of spirit that we have experienced as a family since Alan passed away and we will never forget how marvellous you all are,” wrote Alan’s family.

“May God bless each of you,” they concluded.

the drinks business would also like to thank the trade for its heart-warming response to Alan’s death, which has served as a reminder of the kind and generous spirit that exists in this industry.
