Tributes paid to TV presenter and radio awards judge

Midlands 103 has paid tribute to TV presenter and architect Hugh Wallace, who had judged our radio station in Ireland’s awards, after he passed away suddenly at home at the age of 68.

An update on the Midlands 103 website said: Hugh was a director and co-founder of architecture firm, Douglas Wallace Consultants and was widely known and admired for his work as the presenter of RTÉ’s The Great House Revival and as a judge on Home of the Year.

His passion, creativity and warmth touched colleagues, audiences, and his many, many friends across the country.

He has previously been a judge at Midlands 103’s events including the Hospitality Awards, Customer Service Awards and Green Home and Energy Show.

Hugh’s husband, Martin Corbett has called for privacy at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Martin and Hugh’s family and friends.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
