Hugh W. Wood, chairman and founder of HW International, the London-based broker, died peacefully on April 26, 2019, at the age of 75.
Wood founded the HW International Group in 1982 and expanded the brokerage to offices in 10 countries. He was also an accomplished and world renowned philatelist. The business and stamps were his passion, said HWI International Group in a statement.
Long-term arrangements have been put in place so that the business will continue as an independent brokerage firm, the company said.
The funeral was held privately on May 1, 2019. Celebrations of Hugh Wood’s life will be held in New York and in London and those dates will be announced shortly.
