A former managing director of The ECHO has died suddenly at the age of 73.
Leo Coligan joined the Liverpool Daily Post and ECHO in 1973 as a personnel officer, just one week before the company moved from its original Victoria Street offices to its long-term home on Old Hall Street in Liverpool city centre.
He went on to work for the ECHO and its then-parent company Trinity Mirror for 30 years, holding a number of management positions before retiring in 2003.
