The Clients

Individuals and businesses pursuing significant recognition for their achievements along with those who are interested in obtaining personal honours, such as Knighthoods and Damehoods, CBEs and OBEs.

This can include individuals applying for themselves and applying on behalf of family, friends or colleagues.

The Problem

It goes without saying: a Royal Honour from His Majesty the King is one of the most highly regarded and prestigious accolades that an individual can receive.

Of course, it is often A-list celebrities, sportspeople and politicians who make the headlines, meaning Honours Lists can seem unattainable for those making a difference whether that is within their local community or in their line of work. 

Royal Honours are a chance to represent the best of British: a celebration of character, commitment and contribution.

Any individual who meets the criteria can be eligible for nomination. However, it is only the exceptional few who are honoured.

The Solution

Editing Edge director Lesley Hussell is an authoritative figure in the world of personal honours.

Working in association with Awards Intelligence, Lesley has made multiple national television appearances (including Sky News) discussing recent Honours Lists and explaining how, for those seeking an honour of the highest stature, working with experts will maximise the chances of receiving the recognition they deserve. 

Lesley has personally drafted dozens of compelling nominations and will go to great lengths to ensure that yours is as impressive as possible. 

In fact, on average, the experts at Awards Intelligence will spend over 150 hours – the equivalent of around 20 working days – researching and drafting a nomination. We will also meet the nominator and interview supporters to gather thorough background information about the nominee, advising on all aspects of the nomination from structure and content all the way up to the point of submission.

Lesley will craft masterful, persuasive and accurate copy designed to tell a client’s story in the most authentic manner.

Yes – anyone, based anywhere in the world who meets the criteria, can be nominated for a UK honour and the title of BEM, MBE, OBE, CBE or Knighthood / Damehood – and Awards Intelligence can help their desired nominee succeed in their application.

This is best represented in the lists themselves; a large majority of those who are awarded personal honours are ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.
