Shopper will hold a Memorial and invite its friends and colleagues to celebrate and pay tribute to its CEO and founder Ben Walker on Wednesday, 2 February at The Ivy Den, Lounge & Terrace. Walker died suddenly in his sleep last week, he was 47 and leaves behind two sons and wife, Lisa.
Shopper co-founder Ed Couche said, “There has been an extraordinary outpouring of heartfelt messages and tributes to Ben reflecting the incredible support and mentorship he provided to many, the vision and driving force behind Shopper and the overall growth of retail OHH industry.
“While no words can adequately express our sadness at Ben’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to have worked alongside him, the Memorial will provide an opportunity for all those touched by Ben either professionally or personally to celebrate his extraordinary life and contribution.”
“Ben loved to bring people together to connect and celebrate so we hope you can join Ben’s family and the Shopper team to do just that one final time,” Couche said.
