Posted: 19th Dec, 2007 By: MarkJ
BT's chief executive, Ben Verwaayen, has been made an honorary knight of the British Empire (KBE) by the Queen. The award was given as a reflection of his services to the communications industry:
Congratulations Ben, now can we have some 'Fibre To The Home' (FTTH) please :) ?
He will receive his Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire from a cabinet minister early in the New Year. Ben joins an eminent group of business leaders from outside the UK who have been recognised with a KBE. These include Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, BP chairman Peter Sutherland, and Niall Fitzgerald of Reuters. Other non-nationals who have been honoured include film director Stephen Spielberg and former president George Bush senior.
Ben said: "This is a fantastic tribute to everyone who has worked so hard to transform BT into a communication services company with a global reach and a bright future. I am extremely proud of what the team has achieved, and very excited about the opportunities that still lie ahead."
