AUCSO TRIBUTE

SHED COULTHARD

Our colleague and long-time AUCSO supporter, Shed Coulthard sadly passed away
peacefully in hospital on 26th November 2022 aged 58 Years. Shed was Head of Security at
Newcastle University, AUCSO Northern Group Regional Chair and was a powerhouse in the
world of Security Training, bringing many initiatives to our association. Shed’s passion and
dedication will be sorely missed by so many of us, and a fitting tribute will be announced at
the AUCSO Conference in April 2023.

Personally, Shed was a much-loved partner of Janice, an adored dad to Samantha, father-in-
law to Lee, a cherished grandad to Olivia, Lillie and Poppie, also a loving brother to John.
Shed will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew him.
