Martyn Thatcher, managing director of Freight Express-Seacon (Rye) Ltd (FES Rye) very sadly passed away on Friday, August 6 after a short battle with cancer.
Martyn worked at FES Rye for over 40 years, formerly at the premises at 8 Market Street and in recent years from Eagle House on Landgate. He was an excellent shipbroker and highly regarded in the shipping world.
Martyn would travel around south England supporting his talented son, Harry, playing rugby. He loved family holidays in Greece, where they would visit wife Annabel’s family home.
Many of you will recognise Martyn from his daily stroll through the town to visit his favourite Rye Deli for lunch.
His colleagues at Freight Express will miss him terribly. Martyn leaves his wife Annabel and children, Zoe and Harry. They are all very much in our thoughts.
