Irwin Mitchell Pays Tribute to CEO Andrew Tucker

By Legal Announcement

Irwin Mitchell is incredibly saddened to share the news that their Group Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Tucker, passed away last Wednesday following an unexpected illness

Andrew had been part of the Irwin Mitchell family for nearly 40 years. He joined Irwin Mitchell in 1985 and became a Partner in 1988. Andrew was appointed to the role of Group Chief Executive Officer in April 2014. Prior to that, Andrew was the Chief Executive of our Personal Legal Services division and he also headed up our personal injury department, working on many high-profile and ground-breaking cases.

Glyn Barker, Chair of the Irwin Mitchell Group, said: “Andrew’s many strengths, including intellect, commerciality and integrity, have ensured that Irwin Mitchell has grown and prospered under his leadership. His legacy is a robust business with a strong culture and widely admired reputation.

“As well as being a hugely respected leader, Andrew was a much-loved colleague, always with the best interests of colleagues and clients at the forefront of his thinking, and we will miss him hugely.

“We’re working to support Andrew’s family at this very sad and difficult time and request that their privacy is respected.”
