We are delighted to announce that Henry and John have been awarded MBEs for all their fantastic work with the School Food Plan.

As John says, “Writing and helping to implement the School Food Plan is a massive privilege and a character-building task. This recognition is a tribute to all of the people who work hard every day to provide health, pleasure and improved attainment to our children. Let’s all keep going.”

Henry also added, “I think it’s reflective of the fact that the sector, which used to work quite disparately, doing lots of good things, has really come together and there’s an amazing, positive, constructive atmosphere of improvement across the country. I think the MBE is recognition of that, rather than anything John and I have done.”
