Brian McCance, who was 77 at the time of his death on 22 September 2017, attended Bangor Grammar School from 1951-57. He joined the McNeill Group with the aim of becoming a draughtsman. He found he had a talent for sales and this led to him joining Gamble Steel. Eventually he would become a director of Gamble Sims.
In 1976 he and a business partner, John Jeffers, established McCance Steel; following the death of Mr Jeffers he became sole owner and managing director. He was still active in the business almost up to the time of his death. He was a former president of the National Association of Steel Stockholders for the UK and Ireland.
Brian was also closely associated, for many years, with Clandeboye Golf Club. He was captain in 1994 and a trustee. He was particularly active in the Past Captains’ Association. (With thanks to County Down Spectator)
