He also led the field in bespoke Tension Wire Grids, initially for Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in 2010, then Harrogate International Centre and most recently the Attenborough Centre.
Alan Jacobi, managing director of Unusual, said: "Mike's sometimes gruff outward appearance belied his true self. He was an inspirational character, always ready to help his workmates and well respected throughout for his professionalism and tenacity in getting the best deal for Unusual. He was well loved here and will be sorely missed by the Unusual family and his colleagues from the wider industry."
Mike died suddenly on 13 November, leaving a wife, two children and two grandchildren.
