A BUSINESSMAN has been named as the Lichfield St Chad Rotary Community Champion.
Simon Price, CEO of cutlery firm Arthur Price, was awarded the honour for his patronage of We Love Lichfield and for helping to organise the Arthur Price of England Speaking Competition.
Elaine Hutchings BEM, the new president of Lichfield St Chad Rotary, said:
“Simon Price is a true community champion. He started We Love Lichfield from virtually nothing and now it plays a vital role in the area’s voluntary sector – and his long-standing support for the speaking competition is cherished by many including teachers, pupils and parents.
“His enthusiasm for all things Lichfield and the district is boundless. I wish we could bottle it.”
Simon said:
“I am honoured to be recognised and like to thank everyone involved.
“I can’t tell you how much I love living and working in this wonderful place. I am lucky to call it home.”
