In memory of John O'Gorman

John O’Gorman - Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our former Partner, John O’Gorman.

John joined Scott White and Hookins in 1987 as an Engineer working on a range building projects within the Practice. His dedication, professionalism and technical expertise quickly became evident, and he progressed to the role of Associate.

Under John’s leadership, the Health and Safety department grew significantly, ultimately representing around 15% of the practice’s turnover by the mid‑2000s. His contribution was recognised in 1999, when he was invited to become a Partner of the firm – an offer he proudly accepted. John was also pivotal in encouraging Scott White and Hookins to develop their Sustainability services in the mid‑2000s.

Throughout his tenure, John built a strong and loyal Client base, delivering hundreds of projects and his commitment to quality and service established a reputation that has allowed the Health and Safety team to continue thriving long after his retirement in 2016.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Patsy and the entire family.
