20 March 2025
It is with immense sadness that we say farewell to our brilliant and formidable founder, President, former Chair and great friend, Sir Torquil Norman CBE who died peacefully at home on Wednesday 19 March 2025. He was a true visionary, who brought so much joy to this world and never stopped believing in young people and never stopped believing in the Roundhouse.
Without Torquil, the Roundhouse simply would not exist as it does today. He was an extraordinary business man, a huge advocate for creativity, the arts and young people, and simply a wonderful human being. We are sending all of our love to his partner and children and the whole Norman family at this desperately sad time.
