TRIBUTES PAID TO FORMER LYALVALE EXPRESS OWNER ROGER HURLEY
It is with sadness that the shooting industry marks the passing of Roger Hurley, former managing director and owner of Lyalvale Express Ltd.
Roger purchased the Staffordshire-based ammunition manufacturer in 1998 and led the business until April 2022. Over the course of 24 years, he established Lyalvale Express as one of the UK’s leading shotgun cartridge brands, guiding the company through significant growth with calm leadership and clear direction.
Respected across the trade, Roger was known not only for his commercial achievements but also for the way he invested in people. He offered many staff the opportunity to develop their careers, and his commitment to fostering a loyal and motivated team has left a lasting legacy at the company.
A number of those who worked with Roger remain part of Lyalvale Express today, a testament to the culture of mutual respect and long-term vision that he helped instil.
Roger’s contribution to the business and to the wider shooting sector will not be forgotten. Gun Trade Insider extends its condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues.
