The Company is saddened to hear of the death of Liveryman Patrick Graham Lowe, who passed away aged 90 following a short illness.
Patrick was a well-known, active member of the charitable community and served the ECA both locally and nationally as President. He was extremely well-respected amongst his peers and helped develop and restore many of Oxford’s and the country’s most prestigious buildings.
Following completion of an engineering science degree at Brasenose college Oxford, Patrick joined the University Air squadron prior to serving in the Royal Air Force before returning home to run the family business in 1958.
Throughout his career he was a mentor to a vast number employed within both Lowe and Oliver and throughout the Oxfordshire electrical community, nurturing and passing down the high standards and values he so passionately believed in.
Patrick will be greatly missed by those who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him and our heartfelt sympathies go out to his family and friends.

So it was that, on 16 January, fifteen Worshipful Company Masters from the City, including myself, made our way to the Barbican to witness the installation of the Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor Alderman Nicholas Lyons as Rector of “our” University.
