MR PAUL SHARPE: FORMER NATIONAL CHAIRMAN 

MR PAUL SHARPE: FORMER NATIONAL CHAIRMAN 

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Paul Sharpe of the Birmingham District Amal Branch after a long period of ill health, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning.

 

Paul served the union for many years having been active in the Union since November 1953. He became a Branch Officer in 1961 and held many other positions at branch, regional and national level.

 

He was a very well respected branch officer within the branch and also at CWU Headquarters where he was a National Chairman of the former UCW, served on the Postal Executive and on the formerly known Postal Group Management Committee and finally Paul served as a Policy Advisor to Ray Ellis. He will be sadly missed by all his friends and colleagues in the union.

 

At this sad time our thoughts are of course with Paul’s family – and close family and friends. I have on behalf of the CWU conveyed our deepest sympathy and condolences to them.

 

An additional LTB will be sent out when further information becomes available regarding funeral arrangements.

 

If you have any enquiries on this LTB, these should be addressed to the General Secretary’s Office at gsoffice@cwu.org quoting the reference GS1.3/LTB XXX/15.

 

 

Yours sincerely
