The Good, The Bad, & The Dudley | Fast Cars Fast Life | The God Father | RIP

WHY DUDLEY?

It was the grand wedding of a local self made millionaire and entrepreneur. 

With such a incredible event comes the question...

"What present do you get the man who has everything" ?

WRONG 😖😖 (has already)

Give him the gift of Dudley...

Presented In the form of a unique, exclusive photo album documenting a few days mooching about town in the day and a night time shot of the building which was called "Eurofax House" back in the day, close to the Castle, where Mr Lawley started his first business selling fax machines in the 80's and where I first met him. He lived in the first floor flat along with his girl friend who was a make up artist. 

all shots taken in 2021 for the wedding album, The good, The bad and the Dudley.

Born in the West Midlands, UK in 1963, Stuart was a force of nature from an early age. He achieved national recognition as a junior race car driver in the 1970s, winning the championship twice while racing Formula 6 single-seat cars. His passion for engineering led him to attend the prestigious Imperial College London, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1985.

Over the next two decades, Stuart founded and developed several highly successful businesses, achieving multiple multi-million dollar exits. Among his most notable ventures were Eurofax, OneView and ICM Registry, which he regarded as his finest work and contributions.

Stuart was known for his no-nonsense approach to life and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. He valued moral courage and meaningful action above all else. Beneath his tough exterior was a kind-hearted and generous spirit. His love for animals was evident in his dedication to rescuing neglected and mistreated dogs, including Fenton, Blake, Skippy, Harald I & Harald II.

Following the tragic loss of his only child, Sabian, in early 2022—a pedestrian victim of a hit-and-run accident—Stuart retreated from the business world to explore philanthropic avenues that aligned with his values, most notably working with the Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Groves, FL.

Sadly my friend Stu recently passed away,  pal for many years...

I've been on a incredible journey with you muka, thanks for making that happen... 

u will be missed Stupot ol' chum :(

RIP  Mr Lawley
