Mr Power, who lives with his wife Maureen in the Bradway area of Sheffield,
launched Panache in 1982 after working for Playtex.
A spokeswoman for Panache said: “Mr Power is a self-made man who founded
International brand Panache over 30 years ago and which now employs over 120
people locally.
“As a close, family-run company, this incident has come as a big shock to
the business and our thoughts and prayers are with the Power family at this
difficult and private time.”
Mr Power, left his position as managing director in 2007 and John Power, one
of his two sons, replaced him. His other son Danny is the company’s business
development director. He also has two daughters and grandchildren.
One local resident in the Bradway area said Mr Power was well known locally
and added : “He is a very successful businessman and it’s awful that
such a thing could happen to an elderly man.”
A 30-year-old local man from Darnall, Sheffield, has been charged with
attempted murder and robbery and has been remanded in custody.
