Awards Intelligence’s Director of Communications, Lesley Hussell, spoke with Sky news to discuss the 2025 New Years Honours list. You can watch the interview HERE.
There were 1,227 honourees announced, all having been recognised for their dedication and positive impact in their communities and organisations.
In order to garner an Honour, a nominator must write a submission to the Honours and Appointments Secretariat setting out the nominee’s work and achievements in an official nomination document. They will also need to provide a minimum of two supporting letters.
Once submitted, and if successful, the nominee will be notified and invited to receive their honour at at an investiture ceremony at one of the main royal palaces. If a nomination is unsuccessful the nominee cannot be re-nominated until a minimum of two years has passed, and then the nomination must show a significant improvement to the initial unsuccessful nomination.
Awards Intelligence can help you nominate someone, or yourself, for any of the King’s honour awards, by professionally handling the whole nomination process for you. We can make sure your nomination has the best possible chance of getting the right result.
Our consultants have many years’ experience in working with Royal Honours candidates – from the committed local community champion, to the outstanding entrepreneur, from the leading industry expert to the dedicated philanthropist.
Only 1 in 10 of those who apply for an honour are successful, but our client success rate is 2 in 3. We go to great lengths to ensure that your nomination is as compelling as possible. In fact, on average our experts spend over 150 hours, the equivalent of around 20 working days, purely on researching and drafting a nomination.
To start your nomination we simply need to make sure the nominee meets all the requirements of the King’s honours criteria. And if you do decide to go ahead with one of our Honours packages, our fees start from £4900 + VAT
