The sad passing of Richard Pulford
7th Aug 2011
Pulford retired from his position at SOLT at the end of last year. However, he fell seriously ill and was hospitalised soon after announcing his intention to step down from the organisation. He died on Sunday August 7, 2011 at his home in London.
Pulford served as joint chief executive for the TMA and SOLT from 2001 to 2010. Prior to that, he worked as a freelance arts consultant following spells as general director (administration) at the Southbank Centre and deputy secretary general of the Arts Council of Great Britain.
Julian Bird, who succeeded Pulford as chief executive of SOLT/TMA, said: �For those of us at SOLT and TMA who had the pleasure of working with him, his many qualities, counsel and friendship will be missed enormously.�
SOLT president Mark Rubinstein added: �Richard did an enormous amount for the society and its members. We will miss him and our thoughts go out to his family.�
A full obituary will appear in a future print edition of The Stage.
