Nick Ludgrove, a staff member of Princess Yachts, passed away unexpectedly in February 2026. His death leaves a profound void among family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him.
He was from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and engaged to Rachel Tiggerific Sadler.
Nick Ludgrove was a beloved son, brother, fiancé, and friend, whose departure has left a void in the lives of his family, his colleagues, and the community that will be felt for years to come.
He was originally from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, and lived in Plymouth.
Since April 24, 2023, he had been a valued member of the Princess Yachts team. He was with the company for a short time, but was known for his skills, camaraderie, and genuine kindness.
It was within the Princess Yachts family that he also found his greatest love.
Nick is survived by his devoted fiancée, Rachel “Tiggerific” Sadler. They began dating long before they worked side-by-side. Nick proposed to Rachel on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2021.
Rachel, who works as a Material Controller at Princess Yachts, has lost her partner and her best friend. Their shared life, built on love and laughter, was a source of immense joy to all who witnessed it.
Nick’s true legacy lies in the countless lives he touched.
He possessed an infectious sense of humor, a thoughtful nature, and a quiet strength that drew people to him. Family remembers his unwavering loyalty, while friends will cherish memories of his generosity of spirit and the countless small ways he brought happiness into their everyday lives.
He was a man of integrity, whose presence made the world around him a little brighter.
A service to celebrate Nick’s remarkable life will be held in Plymouth for his colleagues and friends, with a subsequent interment of his ashes in his hometown of Welwyn Garden City. Details will be shared with close family and friends in due course.
In this time of immense grief, the family requests privacy but extends their deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from the Plymouth community.
Nick Ludgrove may be gone, but his memory will remain a source of comfort and inspiration. He will be profoundly missed and forever loved.
Rest In Peace, Nick Luddy Ludgrove.
