Funeral details of Total Motion’s Simon and Harry Hill confirmed

The private funeral of Simon Hill, group managing director of Total Motion, and his son Harry, who was head of fleet at the vehicle leasing and fleet management company, will take place on Thursday, May 25.

It will be followed by a memorial service at Leicester City Football Club in the Walkers Hall on at 2pm, to which all are welcome.

In a post on LinkedIn, the family said: “Simon and Harry were full of life, known by many for their flamboyant shirts, so the family invites you to wear colourful and patterned outfits, if you wish.”

Hill (pictured) and his son Harry were tragically killed in a crash on the A50 on Sunday, April 16. 

The two men, who were in a Bentley Bentayga which left the carriageway and struck a bridge pillar on the A50 in Derbyshire, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Simon Hill was well-known in the fleet sector having founded the vehicle leasing and fleet management company Total Motion in 1999.

The business, which is based in Leicestershire, was ranked 21st in last year’s FN50, with a risk fleet of 10,116 cars and vans.
