    Ross Alexander My dad introducing me to the world. My dad will forever be an inspiration to me, he will always be by my side. I cannot formulate enough words on how much Dad means to me. I love you Dad.

    Drew and I met back in 1996/97, he was at CSC and I was at IBM, account manager for British Aerospace. We had a lot of wonderful times together and a lot of late nights working through tough negotiations. Despite us working for different companies and sometimes differing objectives, it was clear to me that Drew was a man that wanted to get things d...

    Andy Ingham Drew gave me an award in my early days working at CSC. I was like a rabbit in the headlights on those early projects and Drew's award made me feel warm and professionally accepted. Condolences to all his family and friends.

    Darrell Cowgill Drew seemed to love developing people and watching them grow; I learned so much from him as did so many. His insights, his focus on people, and the importance of having fun along the way were truly inspiring. Drew, I loved working for you, thank you.

    Pietro Pieretti Elegant men in Versailles. Ciao Drew, will miss you!!!

    Just a few words to recall fond memories I have personally and which it is good to share on behalf of Accenture. Drew was remarkable in the way be managed to be the 'best of both' in so many ways - he was always committed to client service, and had many client-side friends and yet he always protected Accenture's interests and ensure fair dealing. ...

    Ange Bailey Over the past years I have had many wonderful times with Drew and Carole, playing cards, board games, dancing in the Cameron kitchen after just a few wines. Drew was always a very kind man and funny. He constantly called me deaf as I am, but he did talk too fast and quiet for me. In the photo we all had the best day together. I will miss Drew as will all who have ever met him. Love from Ange, your deaf friend.

    Jocelyn Sy Drueco Drew was so game to try out our national folk dance in the Philippines - Tinikling! 😊

    Sardonic and caustic mixed with a heart of gold. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with you, Drew. My thoughts are with your family and close friends at this time. Deepest sadness.

    Marc Jones17 Jan 2020

    A great Man, a great Leader, will be missed by all that knew him and were close to him....the fights over now Drew, RIP .....

    Hemmerson Carvalho17 Jan 2020

    There is a photo here which shows Drew how I knew him in his days at YARD; black hair, black moustache... and always smoking as well. Great guy. One of the most fiercely intelligent people I’ve ever known. RIP

    Peter Wilson17 Jan 2020

    Forever grateful to a kind and generous leader... rest well, Drew.

    Cristy Chua17 Jan 2020

    The fiercest intellectual with a reputation that made you prepare to meet the best of brains - he was just the kindest most “human” leader way before the term human leadership entered our vocabulary and he had a gift that is all too rare - to listen deeply and find in everyone that heartbeat we call potential. I will never forget the moments he led...

    Shaheen Sayed17 Jan 2020

    Drew was my friendly neighbour - we shared an illogical delight in cutting grass in our paddocks. Sunny day - bright blue sky with fluffy clouds - that certain warmth in the wind! - Good to go! Sometimes Drew would be out first with the tractor mounted mower and I watched with envy - other times I stole a march and got out first! Was it a competit...

    Jim Orr17 Jan 2020

    My sincere condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Drew when we established the greenhouse development programme in Accenture UKI in 2009 - this programme continues today which is testament to his vision, enthusiasm and contagious inspiration. Rest in peace my friend.

    Dicky Harman17 Jan 2020

    Drew - you were one of the role models for me and always admire your approach to things in life. Rest In Peace..

    Alex Kastalli17 Jan 2020

    I met Drew in 2015 on the Corporate Coach International course and he quickly became my guide and mentor. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and learn from Drew. I can’t thank him enough for the guidance and advice that he shared with me in the short time that we knew each other; it was invaluable. Truly a great guy with a genuin...

    Stephen McGowan17 Jan 2020

    Be in peace, Drew! 🙏 Cheers to a life well lived. 🥂 Thank you for the people-first brand of leadership. I will always be thankful for the blessing of having been under your team when I was still in Accenture.

    Irene Pineda-Maño17 Jan 2020

    Robbie and me met Carole and Drew on an annual basis in Easdale for the World Stone Skimming Championships. We always had good banter over a pint or two and we missed your presence there this year, your easy chat and the laughs we all had. It won't be the same going forwards knowing that we won't get a chance to catch up. Rest in peace lovely man....

    Fiona Conti17 Jan 2020

    Drew - you were very kind to me at the start of my career and became a great coach, guide and supporter. We never got that bowls match - fondly remembered, and sadly missed. RIP.

    Will Matthews17 Jan 2020

    Such a fine man, personally and professionally

    Caroline Whalley-Hunter17 Jan 2020

    It has been a great pleasure to know Drew, a very straightforward and genuine man. I am glad that he enjoyed his time on Martha Gunn, she will miss him like all of us.

    Harry Standley18 Jan 2020

    Drew you taught me a lot and was a good friend at CSC

    Niels Bjergsted18 Jan 2020

    Drew was a great leader who inspired many throughout his career. I will miss our regular bets on the old firm matches. I'll raise a glass 🥃 to you during the next match. It's so sad when the world loses such a wonderful person. Sincere condolences to his family and close friends. You will be missed by so many. RIP Drew ⚽️🍀

    Eric Kerr18 Jan 2020

    There was never enough time with Drew. He was one of those individuals from whom you will learn every minute, whether it was about work or life or wine or scotch- or simply about that specific moment in life. His persistence and his tenacity were admirable. His passion was contagious. RIP Drew.

    Alex Andrenacci18 Jan 2020

    I have very fond memories of working with Drew at CSC; there were a lot of laughs along the way. A great boss and a good man, who was well respected, fair and led from the front. He certainly knew how to get the best from people and will be greatly missed by so many. RIP Drew

    Sue Kibble18 Jan 2020

    Drew was a great mate and exeptional bowler. We will all miss him at K.B.C. and Inverclyde Indoor Bowling.

Trainees with Lloyd’s He turned up in Bristol as my replacement having been described to me as “a Glaswegian having PHD in fracture mechanics from Cambridge” - quite bright then. Met him in the office reading the sports page of the sun with a packet of No6 close by. Good bloke then - many fun nights out...

    Drew was a well respected Kilmacolm Bowling Club past Champion, Team Skip and Coach. Even during his illness he found time to coach new members and older members who thought they knew how to play. He will be a much missed member of the bowling club and blue nose at Ibrox, "Simply the Best" RIP Drew. Bruce

    Jim Weir I know that at this moment it is difficult for us to assimilate the departure of a person as dear as Drew. He was a person and a gentleman who never was afraid to tell you how it was, he had an infectious naughty laugh and was always game for a loads of fun. It was an honour to have him as my best man at our wedding, as it was a privilege to be part of Drew & Carole's life in Cheshire, especially, when they trusted us in looking after their animals. R.I.P. Drew.

    I remember Drew as firstly one of my customer's when at CSC then as one of my bosses when he recruited me into BAE Systems. Typical gruff Scotsman much like myself at times but with a great sense of humour and always had a twinkle in his eye. It is my own regret that we didn't keep in touch as much as we used to in recent years but always managed t...

    Drew was a true friend and colleague for many years, we shared many great moments. Both social and work related. His wedding to Carole, where I was an Usher, Edinburgh Fringe, Glasgow (ubiquitous chip!), Numerous (but not enough) visits, Burns Night, Skye birthdays and many other great times - America VP boondoggles, Blackpool Christmas bash(s)! ...

    Paul Holloway22 Jan 2020

    Rest in peace, Drew. Your wit, wisdom and kindness will be sorely missed. My prayers to the family.

    Erica Toth Riga23 Jan 2020

    Many years ago, Drew and I and others from CSC took our client to a very posh black-tie dinner in Glasgow. After a boozy evening it was time for speeches and I and my colleagues thought it was hilarious that the keynote speaker had problems with pronouncing the letter "R" - a key requirement for a speech regarding the history of societies and mee...

    Brian Cuthbert23 Jan 2020

    Drew was a fellow Trustee of the Accenture Foundation and was a passionate supporter of the various organisations we supported, giving time to check out their credentials, standing up for those that could generate hope and opportunity in challenging environments and showing genuine interest all the time. His leadership style earned loyalty and supp...

    Peter Webb23 Jan 2020

    I had the pleasure of meeting Drew and working alongside him as a fellow CxO with Youd-Andrews. It did not take long to recognize and embrace Drew's personality, wit, wisdom and leadership skills. Sincere condolences to Drew's family. He will be missed.

    Gail Cullen So many memories over so many years... Shared family holiday in Cornwall and France with the chimpanzee in the loo that terrified all the children! Card games and laughter over multiple glasses of Muscadet Sur Lie. The giggling phone call from Drew, having just proposed to his beloved Carole, telling me to buy a hat. A fabulous wedding with the swirl of the pipes...that’s amore! And then coming back to melted wedding presents that had inadvertently been stored in a hostess trolley left switched on! Ollie’s christening with Drew as a proud godfather. We were all hungover after a particularly raucous quiz night in the village hall where Drew and my mother, fuelled by red wine, were flicking peanuts at innocent locals like naughty schoolchildren. Many Hogmanays, some spent with all our respective parents. Drew, in his kilt with a wee dram in hand, barbecuing salmon in the snow! Celtic versus Rangers rivalry and agreeing to disagree on Scottish independence. Waving us off this summer to the Hebrides and Drew’s delight that we were staying in at the Ceilidh Place ‘his favourite place to stay in his favourite place on earth.’ He even had a word with his guardian angel, Charlie, to ensure every crossing was like a millpond. An unknowing final hug on Boxing Day. Above all I will remember his loyalty and Drew’s love of family; his strong love for Carole, his pride in Shonagh, Andrew and Ross and his delight in his grandchildren. A life well lived cut way too short...

    In 1986 when work took me to Yard, Glasgow, I met Drew, the brightest engineer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. A valued and enduring friendship developed, which continued when our careers took us on different paths. From then on our get togethers, although sometimes sporadic, were always a joy. So many fond memories......introducin...

    Drew. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and the professional skills you taught me when I was a member of your leadership team back in the Unilever days: client focus, people empowerment and team meeting discipline. May you rest in peace. David.

    David Cullen Drew was my boss thirty years ago but we soon became and remained friends. We supported each other during some rough times but mostly shared many happy times; great holidays; watching our children grow up; seeing him find such happiness with Carole. It has not quite sunk in that I’ll not see him again. I’ll miss him.

    Paul O’Neill My father-in-law This picture of us brings back some great memories. A rare holiday in the most beautiful setting of St Andrews, this was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Drew and after that first night I knew he was a wind-up merchant. This picture was taken on the last day when I offered to make the family breakfast as a thank you for a wonderful time and making me feel part of the family. I smelt something fishy was going on and I was right, they had all decide to have breakfast in their Rangers tops but Pops you have to be up early to get one over me. To their shock I already prepared my self and as you can see I was kitted out in in the colours from the good side of Glasgow how we all laughed. Pops you will leave a big gap in all our lives that can never be filled I will take good care of your daughter and grandchildren. There is no shame in letting tear drops fall it’s a good thing and we will all be ok. Sail on Pops love you X

    Drew was my boss for many years in Port Sunlight - looking back he was the "Best Boss" I learned so much him - we worked hard but had so much laughter and fun along the way. He was truly "one of a kind", a great and caring leader.

    Jane Hubbard28 Jan 2020

    What can I say...? There's going to be a huge Drew sized hole in so many of our lives. Our future memories will always have an empty chair. And you never did find that wretched jar of picture hooks!

    Shonagh O’Neill My very first memory is one I have with my dad, I was around 3 years old and my parents and I went out for a walk, I think my mum was pushing Andrew in a pram. I ran ahead with my hands in my pockets and I remember as clear as day Dad shouting at me ‘Shonagh take your hands out your pockets you’re going to fall.’ The words barely left his mouth when I fell flat on my face and split my lip open. I remember my dad scooping me up and attending to my bloody lip, sitting me on the kitchen worktop as he did so. I would go as far to say I was a typical daddy’s girl especially when I was younger. A memory I will cheerish. I love you Dad xxx

    Will always remember you Drew fine brave man good friend and fine bowler.

    Willie Mackenzie So so shocked to hear sad passing of Drew Cameron. Myself & my brother Norrie both knew him, Nan & Don who became great friends of my own Dad (Sandy) & Mum (Liz) for many many years. I know he will be greatly & sadly missed by his family Shonagh, Andrew & Ross & especially Carole. I know he loved Gers & I found this wee photo of 3 of us in his fabulous Rangers bedroom before we went to a game. RIP Drew along with Don & Nan in a Blue Heaven 💙😥

    Sally May Some happy memories from the Accenture days.

    Bacon butties played a major role in my 6 year working relationship with Drew, as I organised a lot of events which went on into the evening, where possibly some alcohol might be consumed, and one of Drew's main requirements was to make sure that bacon butties would be available at around midnight. But more seriously… whenever I talk about people...

    Sally May28 Jan 2020

    Dear Drew, it has been my pleasure being part of your team. Your passion and inspiration has set an example and I will always be thankful for your leadership, support and trust, Andreas

    Drew, the things I was always wanted to say. I was in your life short of 3 years. You welcomed into the family with open arms, the first day I met you all. I was very nervous for wanting to make a good impression because of wanting to make your son happy and for you to see that. I remember the first time I met you all, you made fun of my nervou...

    Connor Jervis29 Jan 2020

    So sad to hear about Drew. My deepest sympathy to the whole family. He was a great influence after working with him at YARD and I remember with affection our Saturday morning badminton matches. He was always a better player than I was.

    My friend Drew It would be around 1974 or 1975 that I first met Drew – so that makes it some 46 years that we’ve been friends. A long time, but of course it should have been longer. We were both at The University of Glasgow together, Drew studying Mechanical Engineering and I, Naval Architecture. The first 2 years of these 2 courses covered bro...

    Dave McConnell30 Jan 2020

    Drew was simply a one of a kind. I am so sorry for his family and close friends for their loss. I can't help but smile as I recall our time together in Port Sunlight. If only I'd had the chance for me to tell you how appreciative I am of the times you talked me down from the "ledge" (metaphorically speaking!) during stressful times and disagreeme...

    Annemarie Morgan30 Jan 2020

    Ah Drew. So many happy memories... and here are just a few... How we laughed... Working together in our original office in a tiny porta-kabin next to the runway at BAE! We had to squeeze in and out - literally, space was soooo tight! That day we shared a joke, and for the rest of the day we only had to catch eye contact and we cracked up again - ...

    Helen Atkinson30 Jan 2020

    There is no way one can list all the things I have learnt from Drew. He has helped my professional and personal development being my „dreadful” mentor at Greenhouse II (and afterwards, when we both left Accenture). Dreadful, as he excepted only your very best and even understanding his English has been a challenge in the beginning for me. Drew ha...

    Mária Nagy3 Feb 2020

    50+ years of friendship (since first sitting together in science classes at Williamwood High School). Impossible to sum up, other than to say that it has been a privilege to have known you.

    Paul Barnfather5 Feb 2020

    Drew was a fantastic man - great neighbour, friend, fellow dog lover and inspirational member of our Orkidstudio charity team. Will be much missed.

    Jill Morgan8 Mar 2020

    So many memories...the hours I’ve spent preparing for meetings leaving no stone unturned, only for him to spot the one angle I hadn’t considered. Drew ‘cured’ me of my animal phobia...I’ll never forget one exchange: D: “Get in the aviary” Me: “I’m not getting in the aviary Drew, we’re not at work now” D: “Get in the £&@&£&& aviary!” Me:“ok” .....
