Tributes paid to Herefordshire businessman

Tributes are being paid to a Herefordshire businessman who has died.

Clive Richards passed away at the age of 83 on Friday.

He was known for his generous spirit and helping good causes in the county and around the country.

In 2014, he donated £1 million to St Michael's Hospice for their Development Appeal.

Speaking that same year, Clive said he and Sylvia had given away millions of pounds to good causes over three decades - and had no plans to stop.

‘We just try to help people, particularly those who can’t help themselves,’ said Clive.

‘Once you’ve made a certain amount of money, you can only spend so much.
‘I’ve had a hell of a good life and been able to do what I want. ‘But you can’t take it with you, so we came to the conclusion that we would give our wealth away.’
