The CEO of VetiGraph UK, Hervé Andrieu, has sadly passed away.

In a statement from the company, it said:

“It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Hervé Andrieu, VetiGraph UK’s CEO and a beloved father, husband, uncle, and friend.

“Hervé built VetiGraph UK from inauspicious beginnings into a leading UK provider of digital solutions, weathering countless economic challenges and singlehandedly contributing to the revival of textile manufacturing in Leicester and elsewhere across the UK. He passionately believed in good business practice, the professional development of his employees, and the need for economic regeneration to be equitable and sustainable.

“Anybody who worked with Hervé knows that it was never really just business – he quickly became your friend and confidant, your ‘brother’, someone you could rely on and trust. His charisma, charm, and kindness – as well as his blood, sweat and tears – were indispensable ingredients of VetiGraph UK’s success over the years.

“We ask that everyone respects Hervé’s family, friends and work colleagues at this incredibly difficult time and do not contact them requesting information of any kind. Sending condolences and well wishes is welcome, but please be aware that we are unlikely to have the capacity for replies of gratitude.

“Finally, please note that VetiGraph UK will continue to operate as usual. The team that Hervé carefully assembled and nurtured remains in place and will continue to build on his legacy of business growth. Please know that, if you are a VetiGraph UK customer, you will continue to receive the same service and care as before.

“Thank you,

“The team at VetiGraph.”
