It is with the greatest of regret that we inform you of the death of the Chairman of the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) Vic Emery OBE on Saturday afternoon (18/12/21).
Mr Emery died following a collision on the A74(M) southbound at Ecclefechan.
Vic’s family have released the following tribute:
“It is with great sadness that the family announce that Vic Emery, a cherished husband, devoted father and grandfather and respected businessman passed away Saturday, 18th December 2021.
His wife, Dianne, and daughters, Lucy, Juliet and Victoria and three beloved grandchildren are utterly devastated, their hearts shattered, and request privacy at this time.
Given the unexpectedness of the event, no further details have been determined but will be advised at the appropriate time.”
CNC Chief Constable Simon Chesterman said:
“I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden and unexpected death of Vic on Saturday. Vic was passionate about the CNC and our officers and staff; he has been an extremely supportive and knowledgeable Chairman who has made a real difference to the CNC and the authority. He bought a wealth of experience and energy to the role and will be much missed not just by the CNC and CNPA but by me personally.
I will be speaking to Vic’s family and will pass on my condolences on behalf of the Constabulary and will stay in close contact with them during this extremely difficult time.”
Prior to joining the CNPA Board in September 2016, Vic served three terms of public service to policing in Scotland - as Chair of the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA) and of the Scottish Police Authority (SPA).
In the private sector, Vic was formerly Group Managing Director of BAE Systems warship building and sustainment business for over 10 years, across five operational facilities in the UK with a turnover of £800 million and a workforce of 7,500. Vic sat on the Operational Board of BAE Systems Plc from 2003 until 2008 and was awarded an OBE in May 2008 for services to warship building.
