We bid farewell to a truly iconic figure, Tony Wade. This man, who was not only a visionary in serving the needs of the West Indian community in London but also held global respect as a leader in the Beauty Industry, has left an indelible mark on the world.

Tony Wade was undoubtedly one of the brightest stars that illuminated the path towards a better understanding and representation of the West Indian community in London. As a visionary, he possessed an incredible talent for identifying the needs and aspirations of his people, and with unwavering determination, he tirelessly worked towards fulfilling those needs.

Through his exceptional skills, creativity, and unwavering dedication, he rose to the pinnacle of success, earning the respect and admiration of all those who crossed his path. His expertise was unparalleled, and many aspired to follow in his footsteps, but none could truly replicate the impact he had on the beauty world.
However, Tony was not just recognized for his professional achievements; he was truly loved for his vibrant personality and incredible sense of humour. Every moment spent in his company was filled with laughter and joy. His quick wit, clever jokes, and infectious laughter had a way of brightening anyone’s day, and we shall forever cherish the memories of those moments spent together with him.
