The UK Government is in the process of publishing the King’s New Year Honours List for 2023, which sees Brendan Dick, the former Director of BT<\/a> in Scotland (2006-18) and former Chair of Openreach<\/a>’s Scotland Board (2018-21), picking up an OBE for services to telecommunications in Scotland. But he’s not alone.<\/p>\n

The King’s New Year Honours list is said to recognise the achievements and public service of people across the UK, from all walks of life. Anyone can nominate someone for an honour, and nominees are then “checked by various government departments to make sure they’re suitable for an honour<\/em>” (this may include checks by HMRC) and an honour’s committee will also review the nominations.<\/p>\n

As well as the OBE award for BT<\/a>’s Brendan Dick, TalkTalk<\/a>’s former Early Careers Manager (until October 2022), Sam Davys<\/strong>, has been awarded an MBE for services to Young People and to Inclusion in Digital Industries. She’s now in a different role at the ISP, but the award recognises her work under the provider’s Kickstart program during the pandemic, whereby the DWP provided funding to employers to create jobs for 16- to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit.<\/p>\n

Brendan Dick said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I started out in the telecoms industry in 1980. In that time Scotland has moved from a copper-driven telephony country to one that\u2019s exploiting fibre broadband capability in one of the most challenging geographies in Europe \u2013 and doing it well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m delighted to have been part of that journey and, with the broader business community, look forward to Scotland continuing to exploit digital in the global economy. That\u2019s the challenge and we must stay sharply focused on it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sam Davys, Equality and Future Talent Manager at TalkTalk<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’m in disbelief and over the moon to receive this award. I loved every minute of working on project kickstart and to know I played a small part in changing young people\u2019s lives by giving them their first opportunity in work means a great deal to me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the time of writing, we haven’t yet been able to check whether the full list includes honours for any other figures from the UK telecommunications sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
