It was a proud, honourable and brilliant moment for our Co-Founder Andy Reid MBE as he was presented with the prestigious King’s Coronation Medal on the 22nd May.
Presented by Major General Tim Hyams, Chief Executive of the Army Benevolent Fund, the medal represents Andy’s outstanding achievements, not only in service but also his charitable endeavours with the ABF, other military charities and his own Foundation. It also recognises his youth work in the North West for the Army cadet force and finally, his selfless contribution to the nation through his service.
Firstly, a huge thanks to Café Laziz for the outstanding food they provided, made so lovingly by their wonderful team of volunteers. This was not only delicious, but also held a great significance and place close to Andy’s heart, representing the countries he has served in from his time in the Armed Forces.
Secondly, thanks to all the support from St Helens Borough Council including the Mayor and Head of the Council Anthony Burns for their attendance.
Finally a massive thanks to all our Foundation partners, family, friends and fellow veterans who took time out of their busy schedules to help and support on what was truly a momentous occasion:
Menzies Distribution, Morson Talent, Money and Me Solicitors, TVS Supply Chain Solutions, Halton & St Helens Voluntary and Community Action, RFCA for the North West of England & the Isle of Man, Bates Office, National Pawnbrokers Association, Hatton Garden Metals, VTA Recruitment, Health Med, Urenco, Carma, RS Integrated Supply, Turner & Townsend, The Cerco C2C Academy, Willowbrook Hospice.
