It’s An Honour!

What a week we’ve had! This week we’ve had an MBE and an OBE enquiry so I thought I’d share a bit about the Queens Honours and how you can find out more and even submit a nomination yourself!

So, the Queens Honours really is the pinnacle of acknowledgement and achievement. The Queens Honours recognises people who have either made a significant contribution in public life or who have committed themselves to serving and helping Britain. In short, it’s all about making life better for other people or being absolutely outstanding in what they do.

Did you know that you can nominate someone for an MBE, OBE or CBE?  Seriously, the word document form is downloadable from the www.gov.uk website or here in fact: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nominate-someone-for-a-uk-national-honour

They also publish an extremely handy ‘How to Write Nominations’ guide here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/honours-how-to-write-citations

I’ve had the privilege of working with a good few private and business clients helping them to craft the perfect nomination that really does bring to life the skills, attributes and achievements of their nominee. I’ve also helped to shape and craft the all-important letters of support and have even taken on the heavy lifting of gathering in these letters (everyone’s busy and even for something as prestigious as this you’re likely to fall down someone’s ‘to do’ list if you don’t politely follow up with them).

I’m really excited about potentially writing these next two Honours nominations so fingers crossed. However, in the meantime, if anything I’ve said here resonates with you The Awards People published a full blog about it which you can read here: https://www.theawardspeople.co.uk/its-an-honour-maam/

Happy reading! X
