Kevin Stannard, RIP

We are sorry to announce that Calderdale Trades Council secretary, Kevin Stannard died last weekend. 

    Kevin became Secretary in 2021, having previousy been chair. He was an ardent socialist, dedicated trade unionist and he will be sorely missed. 

    Calderdale Trades Council officers paid tribute to their friend and colleague...

    "Kevin gave a lot of himself to others and to ‘the movement’, and this is something to be honoured. I’ll remember his cheerful, sometimes cheeky, demeanour, as well as his critical political eye, and of course his picket line solidarity." Daniel Whittall, chair.

    "A man full of principle and political intelligence" Nigel Smith, vice-chair.

We send our sympathy and solidarity to his partner, Jane, his family and friends.
