Alan Couchman, a Sapphire veteran for 18 years, passed away last week after treatment for cancer. During a long and versatile career with Sapphire, Alan filled a variety of senior management positions including Consulting Services Director. During all this time Alan carried on his duties with high integrity, genuine courtesy and a desire to help and support our customers. Alan was a true gentleman who was very popular with both customers and colleagues alike and will be missed by all who met him. Sapphire’s staff and friends send our thoughts and deepest condolences to his family.
