The funeral of Colin Taylor, one of the best-known distributors in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s, was held at Gilroes Cemetery, Leicester, yesterday (July 16).

Colin, who founded and ran CT Leisure, and represented JPM and Maygay in their greatest days, had been retired for nearly 20 years.

A short ceremony was held before a large assembly of family and friends, including around 20 from the coin machine industry who were close to Colin in his industry days.

Colin was 78.
