CASH met Tony Pidgley on three occasions and had honest and frank conversations with him but sadly this did not result in the company taking action to protect the health and well-being of residents. RIP Tony Pidgley.

Gina Kalla is anybody registered with Inside Housing, to copy the article for us ? Would be good to know who’s going to take over from him.

RIP Tony Pidgley. A titan in our industry and unquestionably a man to be inspired by. Proof you can go from nothing to the top if you work hard and believe in yourself.

What very sad news that Tony Pidgley has died. I only met him a few times but he was always charming, polite, natural, and a true gentleman. RIP #TonyPidgley

So sad to hear of the death of Tony Pidgley. My prayers & sympathies to his family. He knew the housing & building sector inside out. He once told me how he saved up to buy his first shovel as the first step in his business career. What a story. RIP.

This is devastating. I’m sure I’d have disagreed with Tony Pidgley on many things if I’d met him, but I’ve long admired him from a distance. He had a strong vision for his business, building it from very little and he was perfectly and brutally honest, which is desperately rare.

Shocked & very very sad to hear of sudden death of #TonyPidgley the founder & chair of @BerkeleyGroupUK

His character was Dickensian in the best possible way: brilliant, straight-talking, driven, presumably ruthless in a deal (we never saw that side) but also kind, complex… pic.twitter.com/tZcnSJVIbn

Deeply shocked & saddened to hear of the death of Tony Pidgley Snr today. The industry has lost one of its greats. The first 2 times he called the market, I called it luck, but 3rd time around realised it was genius. He’ll be greatly missed #TonyPidgley #Berkeley @BerkeleyGroupUK
