|May 30, 2025
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'jolly' and 'fun loving' buisness owner who built countless friendships over the years.
-
David Rogan, formerly of Accrington, passed away peacefully from esophageal cancer just two weeks after his diagnosis at his home surrounded by his loving family on May 15, aged 84 years.
David established Hyndburn Metals in 1969 and ran the buisness for around 25 years with his wife, Enid and became a well known and respected figure in the community.
The couple's son Stuart now runs the recycling business after David retired at 50.
