Remembering Jason Scrivens: A Life of Industry and Community
Jason Scrivens, a 53‑year‑old sales manager in the glass and glazing sector, died after a battle with cancer, leaving behind his wife, Kate, and a close‑knit family.
Colleagues remember a professional who began his career at Topline Glass before moving on to influential roles at Glazerite United Kingdom Group and Forel U.K. and Ireland, where his expertise helped shape modern glazing solutions across the United Kingdom.
Beyond the workshop floor, Scrivens was a familiar presence on local pitches, having played for Shortwood United, Slimbridge and Whitminster, and serving in multiple capacities — player, manager, and committee member — for the club that calls Gloucestershire its home.
Tributes flooding social media and local newspapers highlight his passion, his willingness to mentor younger players, and the indelible mark he left on the regional soccer scene, where he was described as “the heartbeat of the community.”
A GoFundMe campaign launched in his name has already attracted donations from across the industry, aiming to ease the financial strain on his family during this difficult time.
Industry and Community Pay Homage
Representatives from Topline Glass, Glazerite and Forel issued statements praising Scrivens’ professionalism and his contributions to safety and quality standards, while local soccer leagues scheduled a minute’s applause before upcoming matches.
Friends such as Brian McDonald, who worked alongside Scrivens at several firms, recalled his “quiet determination” and “generous spirit,” noting that his influence extended far beyond the confines of any single workplace.
The Hellenic League, for which Shortwood United competes, released a tribute noting that “Jason’s love for the game was matched only by his commitment to fair play and community outreach.”
