It is with huge sadness that we share the news that our colleague and friend, Brian, recently passed away after a brief battle with lung cancer. Brian was not just an incredible interior trimmer at Bridge Classic Cars; he was someone everyone loved and enjoyed working with. His passing has left us all shocked and saddened and our thoughts are with his family and friends.


Sadly, just a few months ago, Brian received the news that he had lung cancer. Although the prognosis was not positive, we all held onto hope that he would have more time, that treatments would help, and that he would, in some way, overcome the odds.

Brian’s illness and untimely passing have affected all of us deeply. It was Brian’s diagnosis that was the catalyst for us to team up with Cancer Support Suffolk, an organisation that helps those battling cancer and their families through incredibly challenging times. Brian’s journey made us more aware of the need for support and understanding for those dealing with this cruel disease and it led to a very honest and raw conversation between several members of the team (including Brian) about their own experience with cancer.


While we mourn the loss of such an incredible person, we also celebrate the life he lived and the lasting impact he had on everyone fortunate enough to know him. It’s amazing that so many classic cars carry on Brian’s memory through the interiors that he so skillfully put together.

Rest in peace, Brian. You will be deeply missed by us all.
