Robert Hart was a gentleman who I had the pleasure of meeting in December 2017, so relatively recent compared to many of his family and friends. He immediately made me welcome although he had only just met me. I was to shortly to be appointed as the incoming Chair of Trustees for the Fugro Pension Scheme, one of his favoured appointments that he wanted to continue to support and guide. I am sure I write for all the past and current Trustees we owe a great deal of gratitude to Robert for his talent to help everyone understand complex situations. Although the challenges felt difficult Robert gave us the confidence to believe we were on the path to a brighter future and better days ahead. My life was certainly enriched knowing Robert and I will certain miss our chats and especially the latest rugby topic. My thoughts and prayers are with Robert's family and friends at this difficult time.
