A GIANT of Blackburn’s industrial heritage has died after a long illness. Geoffrey Livesey OBE, who was 82, had been one of the North West’s most prominent industrialists for over quarter of a century. Mr Livesey, who died on April 9 just two weeks before his 83rd birthday, was best known as the managing director and then CEO of Cobble Group in Blackburn, which under his stewardship had been the world’s largest manufacturer of tufted carpet making machinery, and as a former president of East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce. Son Fraser said: “My father was a consummate businessman who, during his career, rose from management trainee to head of a large engineering group, believed passionately in supporting the local business community.”
