With heavy hearts the family of Brian Leslie Dunsby announce his sudden passing on January 4, 2025, peacefully in his home in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK, shortly before his 85th birthday.
DUNSBY, Brian Leslie
22 January 1940 to 4 January 2025
Brian is survived by his loving wife, Beryl, their three children, Martin, Adrian and Carolyn and their six grandchildren.
Brian and Beryl met while students at the University of Birmingham and married on October 13, 1962. They worked together to support the business community throughout their marriage of over 62 years. Brian was a wonderful, committed husband, best friend and business partner and he will be deeply missed.
Brian will be remembered by his three surviving children as a loving father that encouraged them to seize every opportunity and pursue their dreams.
Brian was overjoyed with the addition of grandchildren to his life. He was so happy to be able to visit with all his grandchildren around the world. He looked forward to these trips immensely and they brought him great joy.
Brian was a dynamic businessman who turned his skills and energy into helping the business community in Harrogate and beyond. His contributions were recognised formally by the Queen. He received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion in 2008 and was appointed OBE in the 2017 Birthday Honours. Businesses in Harrogate and Yorkshire have benefited from his initiatives over the many years.
His passing is keenly felt, but his contributions will stand the test of time.
Details of the funeral service will be released in due course.
