It is with deep sadness that we advise you of the passing of our President, Captain Roy Bullen MBE. Roy died peacefully in the early hours of this morning with his family by his side.

Roy has been a guiding light for our charity, dedicating decades to the service of saving lives at sea. During his time at the Harbour Office, he first served as a Launching Authority, then later as RNLI Honorary Secretary of the St. Helier and St. Catherine's lifeboat stations and more recently, as Chairman of the RNLI Jersey Lifeboat Management Group (formerly Branch Committee). His tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to the RNLI, both locally and nationally, have been truly remarkable.

In addition to his leadership roles within our organisation, Roy was awarded the MBE for his outstanding contributions to the maritime industry and his steadfast dedication to serving the wider Island community.

Captain Bullen's legacy will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of all those who had the privilege of knowing him. His passion, expertise, and commitment to our cause will continue to inspire us in our lifesaving work.

The RNLI family extend our deepest condolences to Roy's wife, his daughters and the family at this saddest of times.
