Page 167 - WHO'S WHO OF DUDLEY ROTARY

556 To Leung (‘Tommy’) MAN (1948-2016) (Inducted 11.1.1999; died 4.6.2016 whilst still a member.)
Catering. Proprietor of the Mayflower Restaurant, High Street, Sedgley
which he took over as a takeaway business in 1993. Five years later he
added the restaurant next door. He sold the business in January 2016
when he decided to retire. He was born and spent his early years in Hong
Kong so his registered name was To-Leung Man, hence his joke when
anyone asked him for his Chinese name: ‘Oh it’s Too Long, just call me
Tommy’! His parents brought him to England when he was 9. He attended
a grammar school in Shirley, South London (and represented South
London School Boys under 16s at football and table tennis), then went to
the City of Westminster College in 1968 to study accounting and book-keeping. Four years later
he began his working life with accountants George Harrison & Co. in Croydon. After another
four years he started his own business in food and packaging, and was an active member of
Croydon Lions Club. In 1982 he moved to Luton where he started a new career in catering and
soon set up his own business, ‘China Express’, specialising in home-delivery of Cantonese
Cuisine, a relatively novel service at that time. In the late 1980s he was employed by Hoo Hing
Limited, a London-based importer and wholesale dealer in Chinese food and catering
equipment, then from 1990 until he came to Sedgley in 1993, he was Manager of the Shirley
Temple Cantonese Restaurant in Shirley, Solihull. Tommy was a prominent member of the
Chinese community in London and Luton, and Vice President of the Confederation of Chinese
Associations UK from 2009 to 2012.

557 Robert Malcolm TOTNEY (1965- ) (Inducted 12.6.2000; left at 30.6.2012.) Estate agency.
Chartered Surveyor and Partner in the Lee, Shaw Partnership from
December 1989, based in the Stone Street, Dudley office until this closed
in 2004 when he transferred to firm’s office in Hagley. The practice also
has offices in Stourbridge and Kingswinford. It deals with residential and
commercial property across North Worcestershire, South Staffordshire,
West Midlands and Wyre Forest. He was brought up in Kingswinford, then
attended Birmingham City University where he gained a BSc Estate
Management degree in 1986. He now lives at Stourton. He is the Son-in-
law of Chris Greenaway, club member #559.

558 Andrew Copeland GLAZZARD (1960-2020) (Inducted 11.12.2000; President 2008-09; made a
Paul Harris Fellow 2010; died 8.11.2020 while still a member.)
Architectural Metalwork. Commercial Director from 1991 and then MD
from 2006 of Glazzard (Dudley) Ltd, specialist architectural and structural
steel fabricators, in the Washington Centre, Netherton until retiring about
2016. The firm’s major projects included architectural metalwork at The
Shard, the new Wembley Stadium, Ascot Racecourse and Birmingham New
Street station re-development. The business was started by his father,
Ray Glazzard (member #448) in 1970. On Ray’s retirement in 1988, Roger
Emery (member #524) and Andrew continued as co-directors until Roger
himself retired in 2006.
A keen West Bromwich Albion fan, in 1990 Andrew laid a new lawn with 160 square yards of
his favourite football club’s turf: he had just bought a new house in Dudley when he heard that
Albion were replacing their pitch at the Hawthorns so he took advantage of the unique
opportunity. He later moved to Wombourne but also had a property in the Algarve, Portugal.
In the Club he devoted 15 years to the search for recipients for the Bert Bissell award,
inaugurated in 2005 to celebrate the Centenary of the Rotary movement, culminating in his
name being added to the award alongside Bert's.
