The publisher, entrepreneur and poet has died peacefully at the age of 67

We are deeply saddened to announce that Felix Dennis, Chairman of the company that publishes The Week and TheWeek.co.uk, passed away yesterday surrounded by his loved ones. After a long and painful battle with cancer, Felix died peacefully at his home in Dorsington, aged 67.
Felix was a publishing legend, famed for his maverick and entrepreneurial style and, more lately, a successful and much loved poet. He will be greatly missed.
Thank you for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Felix.
