Karen awarded BEM for services to Cub Scouts

A member of the sales support team at Wyevale Nurseries was awarded a British Empire Medal in the New Year’s Honours List.

 

Karen Jones received the medal for her long and dedicated service to Kingsland Cub Scouts in Herefordshire.

 

The 54-year-old said she was shocked to read she had been given the award. “I wasn’t aware I’d been nominated. It’s a great honour and I feel extremely proud. My greatest pleasure working within the Scouting organisation is encouraging young individuals and watching them flourish and grow. I’m especially proud when some come back into Scouting as young leaders.”

 

Karen, who is married with three children, has worked for Wyevale Nurseries for more than 30 years in the company’s sales office.

 

Andy Johnson, Managing Director at Wyevale Nurseries, said: “We’re delighted for Karen, this is a wonderful honour and a testament to all her hard work in the community.

 

“She is an integral part of our sales support team, processing the majority of our landscape customer orders. Karen is a dedicated and committed colleague, who demonstrates wonderful skills both inside and outside the world of work, and she truly deserves this award.”

 

Karen was notified that she was going to receive an award before Christmas

 

Karen has volunteered at Kingsland Cub Scouts for more than 30 years and is the group’s Akela (eader of the pack).

 

She was also awarded a medal for services to horticulture and long service to Wyevale Nurseries in 2018.
