Doug subsequently became Sales Marketing Director for Duple Coach Builders, where he helped upgrade its range of products, before becoming Managing Director for Salvador Caetano UK.
Later in life Doug established Transport Resources International, a specialist consultancy advising and assisting the manufacturing industry,
He is survived by sons Robert and James. The family requests no flowers, but graciously asks for donations to be made in Doug’s memory to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
