Andy Bamber
Andy Bamber
It is with huge sadness we report the passing of a popular member of the Institute, Andy Bamber. (Pictured at last years conference)
Andy worked in Revenues at several councils in Lancashire, beginning his career at Wyre BC before moving to South Ribble and Chorley. In 2023 he became Revenues Manager at Preston and Lancaster City Councils. He was a long standing member of the Institute and a member of the Lancashire & Cheshire Association Executive since 2019, most recently being Assistant Secretary.
Andy was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March 2024. He faced this diagnosis with such determination – despite knowing this was going to be an almost impossible challenge, he did this for his girls – his wife Louise, and his daughters Amy, Melissa and Ruby.
The Association Executive are all devastated at the loss of a colleague, a friend, a true professional and gentleman who really cared about what he did and for those around him.
