It is with a heavy heart that I announce my wife Pauline's decision to step back from all professional and commercial duties due to her diagnosis of Dementia in 2021.
Pauline has been an inspiration through her work in the film and TV industry, her charity endeavours and as the founder of the very successful Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA).
Her talent, dedication, and vision have touched countless lives and will continue to do so through the legacy of her work and through PQA.
We kindly request privacy and understanding for Pauline and our family during this difficult period.
