Rich Hutson
It is with a very heavy heart that I share the incredibly sad news that on Sunday 16th November 2025, Rich Hutson tragically took his own life.
Rich had been part of Koru since day one, playing a huge role in helping me and the rest of the team shape Koru into what it is today. I brought him in knowing he was an excellent personal trainer, but in those early meetings, I'll admit he also came across as slightly scary! Behind that familiar scowl though, was one of the kindest, most generous people I've had the privilege to call a friend. His loss leaves a space in our lives that can never truly be filled.
In January 2026 we constructed a memorial garden to Rich outside Koru. It’s a beautiful, peaceful garden where anyone can go to relax, talk, and spend some time getting away from life for a while.
Mental health is unfortunately a massive issue for today’s society, and one that only seems to be getting worse. As difficult as life seems, there is always help if you ask. There are many great charities out there that have free helplines and advice. If you ever feel so low that you can’t see a way forward, please get in touch.
