Vale Adrian Manwaring

It is with heavy hearts that the team at Tester Porter Services farewells our dear friend and colleague, Adrian Manwaring, who has passed away at just 57 years of age.
Adrian was a much-loved part of our firm for many years — not just as a valued colleague, but as a genuine friend to so many of us. His warmth, his sharp wit, and that unmistakable laugh could light up any room. Whether it was a day at the office, a Christmas party, or simply catching up over a meal, Adrian had a way of making every moment better just by being there.
Our love and deepest sympathies go to his wife Louise and all of Adrian's family and friends.
We will miss you, mate. Rest easy. ❤️
