It was great to see that FE and Skills were well represented in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours, with a number of individuals in the sector recognised.

We’d particularly like to congratulate John Hyde, Executive Chairman of our customer HIT Training, who was awarded a CBE. This is in recognition of his services to the FE and training sectors over this 30 year career. Alongside managing director Jill Whittaker, he co-founded the hospitality and care sector training and Apprenticeship provider in 2006.

John Hyde was one of 20 FE and skills figures recognised on this occasion. Awards included CBEs for Lincoln College Chair Margaret Serna and interim General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders Malcolm Trobe, and OBEs for Rochdale SFC College Principal Julian Appleyard, New College Pontefract Principal Pauline Hagen and former Chief Executive of the Association of National Specialist Colleges, Alison Boulton, for services to education.

We’re always pleased to see that key figures from across the sector are being acknowledged with these awards – they all play important roles in supporting or delivering high quality vocational education and training so we’d like to congratulate them all. Hopefully this will continue and we’ll see even more FE and skills champions featured in the New Year’s Honours and Queen’s Birthday Honours lists in the years to come.
