Chris will remembered with warmth and affection by all who came across him during his rich and varied life. We met during the 1990s when I was the Political Editor of the Financial Times and Chris was combining a successful career in business with engagement in politics. I remember him as sharp, funny, and kind. He understood - more clearly I think than the Blair government - how building. successful economy and a fairer society can go hand in hand. Sadly, I lost touch with Chris in more recent years. But the fond memories stay with me. Rest in Peace. Philip Stephens

This is from Ruth Quigley and her sons Stephen and Nicholas Campion. Ruth always remembered Chris fondly.

Chris Haskins was a big influence on my business career. I learnt a lot from him in my time at Northern Foods for which I will for ever be grateful. He built Northern Foods into a very large food business supplying a wide range of foods to all the major retailers.

Chris Haskins was influential on my business career during many years at Northern Foods. His unique leadership style was a huge factor in why Northern Foods grew into a very substantial food company. I learnt a lot from him and will always remember fondly my time working for him.
