It is with great sadness that we have been advised by Clow Group on the recent passing of Alan Keates. Alan had been with the Clow Group since 1982 and was one of the co-founders of WJ Clow (Midlands) Ltd.

Warm, personable and outgoing, Alan was very well known and respected throughout the Ladder Industry.

He leaves behind his wife Pat, children Hannah and Matthew and grandson Jack.

Alan will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all.

Alan’s funeral will take place on Thursday 8th December 11:30am at Christ Church, Church Road, Burntwood, WS7 9EA.
