Gary Marsh 1966-2025

Gary Marsh, Solid State plc CEO

We are deeply saddened by the death of our CEO, Gary Marsh, and send our heartfelt condolences to his family.

Gary devoted close to 40 years to our business. We are grateful to have had him as our CEO for many of these, and for the incomparable legacy he leaves.

Gary was a very approachable and friendly person, and undertook his role with huge dedication, humour, and always with a smile. To many of us, he was not just our CEO, but also a highly respected colleague and friend.

His commitment to Solid State was total and he oversaw exceptional growth and geographical business expansion, but always with the best interests of his employees at heart. He has been an inspiration to us all and will be sadly missed.

John Macmichael, Managing Director of Solsta, the Components division of the Group, will stand in as Interim CEO.
