CONFIDENTIAL has received this from Jeremy Roberts, Chief Executive of Living Ventures.
This city is hugely lessened by the loss of such a fine and remarkable man
"It is with incredible sadness that I have to announce the sad passing of Living Ventures Chairman, Tim Bacon, who died suddenly but peacefully in his sleep, on Friday night following a long illness. Tim has had many enduring friendships with people in his private and professional life because of his vibrant, honourable and generous spirit. He gave his all to everything he did, especially to his family and his friends who were incredibly important to him. I will greatly miss him as we all will and I've lost a true friend."
Confidential's Mark Garner will honour Tim Bacon with a full obituary shortly. Confidential in the meantime would like to extend our full sympathy to Tim's friends, family and colleagues, and simply state that this city is hugely lessened by the loss of such a fine and remarkable man.
Living Ventures' establishments include Manchester House, Australasia, Gusto, Grill on New York Street and Grill on the Alley, the Alchemists, the Oast House, Botanist, Grand Pacific and Artisan, amongst others.
