Emotional tributes have been paid to a Doncaster boss dubbed as “legendary” and “one of a kind” following his death.

Jim English worked for Doncaster construction company Togel Contractors and the firm announced his passing in a social media post.

A spokesperson shared: “Yesterday, we sadly lost a valued, loyal and long-serving member of our Togel family.

“For over 30 years, Jim was an important part of our team as our decorating manager and a familiar face to so many.

“Jim’s dedication to Togel was nothing short of legendary.

“Over the years, he travelled the length and breadth of the UK, working on site, in the office and in our finishing workshop.

“His knowledge, skill and commitment to his trade as a painter and decorator were exceptional, and he took enormous pride in everything he did.

“With a big heart and a big personality, Jim was quite simply one of a kind.

“He was a colleague, a friend and a hugely valued member of the Togel family. He will be very much missed by us all.

“Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.”
