Earlier this year, we announced that Corrotherm International CEO, Jan Ward, appeared on the New Year Honours list for 2015.

On 15 May 2015, Jan Ward was invited to Buckingham Palace by Her Majesty The Queen to attend an Investiture Ceremony and receive her award.

Jan was made Commander of the British Empire (CBE) for her services to business and her prominent role within the business community at both a national and international level.

On the day, Jan received her CBE from His Royal Highness Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales.

Jan Ward said: “It was thrilling to meet Prince Charles and I was surprised at how much he knew about me and Corrotherm International.  It was a surprisingly comfortable and relaxed environment and the Yeomen at Buckingham Palace ensured that everything transitioned easily and smoothly throughout the ceremony.

“Following on from the photo-call, I met my whole family outside the palace and we held a celebratory lunch at the Savoy Grill, followed by afternoon tea at the Ritz. It was a spectacular day – really thrilling.

“It is a great honour and quite a surprise to be recognised in this way – now I have to live up to it.”
