CFJ’s former editor, Alan Bakalor, sadly passes away

IT’s with sadness that Kick-Start Publishing announces the death of former CFJ editor Alan Bakalor.

Alan, who hailed from South Africa, was famous in the industry for his dry wit and enthusiasm for embracing controversy for the greater good of CFJ and the flooring industry.

Former Kick-Start CEO John Heath, who started the company with Alan, remembered his late colleague: ‘Alan was one of a kind, a real character who brought integrity and experience to his role. He’ll be fondly missed by his many colleagues through the years.’
