It is with deep regret that I need to inform all members of the VA that Phil Nutt, who was EuroHarmony's CEO from 2006-2008, died on 24th August from a sudden and unexpected heart attack. He was only 42 years old. Many of you will not have known Phil but those who have been here for a few years will remember his enthusiasm, his sense of humour and his desire to make the VA the best it could be. It was Phil who brought me into the Management Team and he gave me a huge amount of time and encouragement in my early days.
The full details of funeral arrangements etc were posted on his Facebook page by his brother and I have copied them below for those who might wish to know more:-
Hi all, I'm Geoff, Phil's brother.
As I'm sure you are all aware now, Philip had a heart attack and passed away on the morning of Friday 24th August 2012. It was a very sudden 'tragedy' and we are assured that he did not suffer at all.
His wife Tammy Nutt, mother Hazel and myself have been looking at his facebook account over the last 10 days and we are all rather overwhelmed by the messages so many people have posted. I'd like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the three of us, to thank you all very much. I'm sure that peanutt is basking in all this attention!
Philip left behind a wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters, Jessica and Eloise, who will miss their daddy very much.
I'm sure you will not mind, Jason MacDonald, If I cut and paste your post regarding the funeral arrangements.

The family have requested no flowers at the service. Instead, any donations that are received will be divided between two charities. The British Heart Foundation and Vulcan to the Sky (which Phil supported).
Once again Thank You, for all your kind words and best wishes, from all his family. We hope to meet as many of you as possible on Tuesday 11th September.
