The Queen's Birthday Honours list was announced earlier this week and revealed that the Sport and Recreation Alliance's Chair, Andy Reed, is to be awarded an OBE for services to the community and to sport in Leicestershire.
Andy served as the MP for Loughborough for 13 years – during which time he served for a period as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Kate Hoey while she was Sports Minister – and his life-long passion for sport has continued to shine through.
Currently alongside his role as Chair of the Sport and Recreation Alliance, Andy performs a myriad of roles within sport including: leading the county sports partnership for Leicestershire, chairing the Voice of Sports Volunteers (SSPV) and the Volleyball England Foundation, as well as serving on the Boards of the Special Olympics GB and of the ASA.
Alongside Andy, there were a number of notable honorees from across the sector. For a full list of people honoured in the Queens Birthday Honours list within the sport and recreation sector please follow the link.
