    • Our families condolences to the Mitchell family. Having worked with Max for 10 years, Max was a man who always gave valuable learnings to everyone he came into contact with whether it was in a business or social environment. Max believed that people who felt good about themselves would produce good results. He kept asking his management team to catch people doing the right thing. Max added something to everyone he would come into contact with. Vale Max, you were indeed a special person.

  11. What a wonderful caring and loving person. Max you started out as our boss and ended up as a dear friend. We are so glad we were able to spend some time with you before Christmas, your parting words to me were so selfless, knowing how sick you were and you telling me to take care of myself. A heart of gold to the end. Deepest condolences to Lorraine, James, Amanda and Families xx
    Forever in our hearts
