We are immensely saddened by the sudden death of our friend and colleague Rick Holgate in November. Rick joined the Axis team as Web Developer in August 2004. An incredibly hard-working, thoughtful and valued member of the IT team, he was, above all, a lovely man and great fun to be around.

Rick worked on the Axis website, the content management system as well as Axis Web Developments external projects. He contributed to many of the facilities currently available on the Axis website and was the lead developer for the Craft Northern Ireland Directory website. 

For almost 20 years Rick was a professional dancer, working in both commercial and contemporary dance companies, and he spent the last nine years of his dancing career with Leeds-based Phoenix Dance Theatre (1989 - 1998).

After graduating with a First Class Honours Degree in Computing - Multimedia Technologies in 2004, he became a freelance IT Developer and Consultant, designing, implementing and maintaining websites and database systems for both arts and non-arts sector organisations.

We all miss him very much and extend our sympathy to Rick’s family and friends at this sad time.
