Sue Maynard Campbell MBE BAHons Solicitor
Managing Director of Equal Ability CIC
1952 - 2008
We deeply regret to announce that Sue Maynard Campbell passed
away in St James's Hospital, Leeds, on 21 May 2008. Her passing
was both peaceful and dignified. Sue was the driving force
behind CHuC and as a ceiling track hoist user herself had a keen
interest in trying to encourage accommodation providers to
install these facilities in their premises. Her work with
Intercontinental Hotels Group has shown that there is a business
case for these hoists and she was hoping to encourage more hotel
chains to install them.
Sue was also Managing Director of Equal
Ability CIC which is one of the UK's leading disability
consultancies providing training and consultancy for government
departments, academic institutions and private enterprises. Sue
was a qualified solicitor and Chair of the Group for Solicitors
with Disabilities (GSD) from 2004. The photo above was taken at the
Holiday Inn Bloomsbury in February during the GSD Conference
2008. Sue received an MBE from The Queen in 2002 for her services to
disabled people. She was also the grand-daughter of Charles
Gordon Maynard, inventor of Maynards Wine Gums, a fact of which
Sue was very proud.
The CHuC website will continue to be a source
for everything ceiling hoist related and her spirit will drive
us forward. She will be missed by her family, friends and
colleagues and will be remembered for her achievements and sheer
determination. Sue was an inspiration to us all.
Sue's funeral for family and close friends took place on
Friday 30 May and there will be a memorial celebration in London
on Saturday 4th October 2008 at 1pm.
