For many years Mr Waddington worked for MLM from its Birmingham office promoting and selling Troms heavy duty chipboard to the mezzanine and access floor markets.
Following the breakup of MLM Mr Waddington then joined Troms as its UK sales manager. He undertook this position successfully until Troms closed its only chipboard mill and he then joined Palmer Timber as its panel products sales manager, fulfilling this role until his retirement in 2015.
Mr Waddington is survived by his wife Kate, two daughters and grandchildren.
