Ian Dudson CBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, said:
“This first honours list in the name of His Majesty King Charles III is notable for the fact that it reflects the legacy of Her late Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee themes of young people, environmentalism and sustained public service.
“These themes are evident in the contributions of those Staffordshire residents honoured today.
“I send my warmest congratulations to them and couple thanks to everyone in the county for their contributions to local communities and in support of our Monarchy.”
