We are devastated to inform you that at around 11am on 26th October 2024, our founder David Lucas passed away with Denise, his Mrs Dave, by his side.

Dave was a prophet, a voice from the margins who would not stop even when it cost him dearly. He had the biggest heart, for social justice, for people and for his beloved dogs Abbot and Jarvis.

Dave leaves behind Denise, without whom he could not have achieved what he did. He built The Ordinary Office community from nothing, and through it has blessed thousands. I am proud he was my dear friend.

Dave, your voice will speak on through those you have inspired. You will be deeply missed.
