The chair of City & Guilds has been given a damehood and a college principal has been knighted in the Queen’s birthday honours 2022.
Over 20 leaders from the FE and skills sector were named in the honours list, including two CBEs, nine OBEs, eight MBEs and one BEM.
Picking up the damehood was Ann Limb, who has over 25 years of experience in FE and last year was the first woman to be appointed as chair of City & Guilds.
Her career includes ten years as principal of Milton Keynes College. When she was appointed in 1987, age 34, she was the youngest ever college principal.
Limb set up the Helena Kennedy Foundation in 1998 and was lately the chair of the Scouts Association.
