A True Gentleman!
2025 began with some really quite extraordinary news.
The Right Hand Man aka Richie Finney, Founder of Captain Fawcett Ltd, has been Awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for Services to International Trade and to Charity in the 2025 New Year Honours.
Richie is quick to note, that whilst this prestigious honour highlights his leadership in expanding British enterprise globally, along with his dedication to charitable causes, such recognition is simply impossible to achieve alone.
This award serves as a reminder of the importance of creating a community, celebrating the combined efforts of the entire team, suppliers, distributors, partners, and stakeholders around the globe, who have all played essential roles in Captain Fawcett’s remarkable story.
Richie says: “In the guise of Captain Fawcett, I am but truly honoured to have been awarded ‘Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire’ — Huzzah! However, this highly esteemed accolade should and will be shared, for I am but the conductor of a hugely professional and incredibly creative orchestra of talent that has in turn contributed so much to Captain Fawcett’s ongoing success. Together, we are building something both disruptive and extraordinary to boot.
“This honour isn’t mine alone; it belongs to my stalwart companions who share the weight and lift one another when we stumble. Step by step, we press on together.
“Captain Fawcett has always been about forging lasting relationships. It is people who cement the sturdiest of foundations, the cornerstone of Captain Fawcett’s success is in supporting communities, and expanding the horizons of UK trade,” he says. “I look forward to the challenge. Here’s to 2025!”
