John Steel R.I.P

It is with great sadness that ive learned tonight that John Steel from Draycott near Derby has passed away after a recent Illness and a Long stay in Hospital.

I still remember the great day he delivered the Albion Crane i bought off him and he drove it from his base to our yard in Huddersfield at the backend of 2022 in cold weather and i tracked his progress on my phone.

He really wanted it to go to me and i visited him a few times until the day came and he was always easy going and full of fun and he put me at ease after a few brews as i was not 100% about about buying a crane and using it but he said he would always still be on hand to give us some help and advise anytime and i kept in touch with him regular.

A very Genuine Man and salt of the earth!

R.I.P John.
