Pedigree Wholesale announces death of John Newbury

Pedigree Wholesale has announced news of the passing of its colleague and friend, John Newbury, who died on Sunday, 17 August 2025, following a short illness.

 

John joined Pedigree in September 2019 as Aquatics Business Unit Manager, later becoming North Sales Team Manager. 

 

Known for his expertise and dedication, he was a respected figure in the aquatics sector, with a genuine passion for his work. His enthusiasm and professionalism left a lasting impression on both colleagues and industry partners.

 

John is survived by his wife, with whom he shared 33 years of marriage, their family and their dog Rosie.

 

The company said: “John was a highly respected member of the Pedigree team. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this very difficult time.”
