National Recognition Support

Building the strongest UK Honours nomination.

Nominating someone for a BEM, MBE, OBE, CBE or other UK Honour is a rare opportunity to properly recognise a lifetime of service. I help nominators build the strongest possible case.

Why the case matters as much as the person

If you're reading this, you already know someone who deserves recognition - a colleague, a client, a family member or someone in your community who's given more than anyone asked of them. That part is rarely in doubt.

What's much harder is turning what you know in your heart into evidence a committee can act on. Most nominations aren't turned down because the person wasn't worthy. They're turned down because the case didn't show the Honours Secretariat what they needed to see - the right kind of detail, from the right kind of voices, presented in the right way.

That's where I come in.

How the process works

A UK Honours nomination isn't a form you fill in over a weekend. It involves building evidence over time and gathering supporting statements from people who can speak to the impact first-hand.

Unlike a business award, there's no fixed submission window to work around - nominations are open year-round, so we can start whenever the case is ready, not whenever a deadline dictates.

I guide you through each stage - what to gather, who to approach for support, and how to present years of quiet service in a way that does it justice.

Who this is for

This is for nominators, not recipients.

Whether you're nominating a Trustee, a founder, an entrepreneur, a community figure, or someone whose service has gone unnoticed for far too long, I'll help you build the strongest, most authentic case possible.

Honorary Doctorates: a different route to recognition

An Honorary Doctorate isn't a UK Honour - it's awarded by an individual university, not the Crown, and the process (who can nominate, whether the nominee can know, how it's decided) varies from one institution to another rather than following a single fixed system. If recognising someone's contribution through their university feels like the right route, I can help build a case for it.

Let's talk about who you'd like to recognise

This is a conversation, not a sales pitch. I want to understand who you're nominating, above all else.
