The death has been announced of Ian Maclean, franchise director for Belvoir, after a long battle with illness.

Maclean became a valued member of the Belvoir family in 2007 as a business mentor, and in 2016 he took on the role of franchise director. 

A statement from The Property Franchise Group says that throughout his time with Belvoir, Maclean’s unwavering dedication to the success and growth of the franchise network was evident in everything he did.

The statement says: “He worked tirelessly to ensure that every franchisee was equipped with the resources, guidance, and support they needed to thrive. But Ian was more than just a mentor and leader – he was a source of inspiration and genuine care for all who had the privilege of working with him. 

“His passion for the business and his sincere commitment to the people he worked alongside have left a profound and lasting impact on his colleagues and franchisees.

“Ian’s kindness, warmth, and steadfast support will never be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to resonate within the Belvoir family for years to come. Our thoughts are with Ian’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his remarkable life.”

Gareth Samples, chief executive officer at TPFG, says: “Ian was a highly valued and respected member of our team with a strong dedication to the Belvoir Group franchise network over the past 17 years. Our thoughts are with Ian’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.”

And Dorian Gonsalves, previous chief executive officer of Belvoir Group, comments: “I had the privilege of spending time with this great man during the period of his illness. His infectious positivity and kind-heartedness made a lasting impression on everyone he met. Ian was a colleague and a friend. We will miss him deeply. Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Angela, his son and daughter, Euan and Abbie.”
