In memory of Leo de Vroomen
It is with great sadness and deep regret that we share the news of Leo de Vroomen’s passing. Our sincere condolences and heartfelt thoughts go out to Ginnie and the family.
Leo was an icon in our profession, a revered figure who dedicated his life to craftsmanship and design. Throughout his long and distinguished career, he was a steadfast supporter of the Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council, serving as both Patron and Ambassador. With boundless energy, vitality, and enthusiasm, he championed the highest standards of professional practice and inspired generations with his unwavering commitment to excellence.
All members of the Council wish to pay tribute to Leo, whose belief, dedication, and passion for his craft were truly immeasurable. He never compromised on his principles and set an extraordinary benchmark for quality and artistry.
Thank you for everything, Leo. You were a beacon of positivity, inspiration, and conviction—where second best was never an option.
The Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council is deeply saddened by Leo’s passing but takes comfort in remembering, celebrating, and honouring a remarkable individual who gave so much to so many.
Rest in peace, Leo.
...the GC&DC is not just one night. It is a year-round effort "to encourage, stimulate and promote the pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship and design”...
