It is with regret that Kommerling UK announces the death of Phil Turley, Glass Products business manager. Phil died on May 18th, following a lengthy battle with cancer.
A well-known and respected figure, Phil had worked in the glazing industry for over 35 years and had spent the last 12 of these with Kommerling UK. Phil had a short spell as a semi-professional footballer with West Bromwich Albion FC but in his words, “his dream career was not to be.”
His first role in the glass industry was with UBM Hills Glass, where he was put in charge of a toughening plant. He then held a series of different sales roles with several of the industry’s key players before joining Kommerling in 2004.
Phil leaves a wife, three daughters and two step-sons.
The funeral will take place on 8th June, at 10.30 am at Earlham Crematorium, Norwich and afterwards at Dunstan Hall.
Family flowers only but donations can be made direct to the Myeloma UK and Kidney Research UK, via the funeral directors (RB Copping, 125 The Street, Poringland, NR14 7RP) or a box at the service.
For the service, Sue has asked for the men to wear ties, as Phil liked things formal
