I knew Noel.
I worked for HeliTune between '96 and '97. He'd recently left the company he started but was still considered one of the family and regularly met up with us on night outs and for lunchtime drinks.
In the years that followed HeliTune's relocation many of us old guard met up for a reunion dinner at Christmas and it is mainly thanks to Noel's enthusiasm and respect for his staff that helped create such a wonderful family atmosphere at the company that we all looked back with fondness at our time there.
