Ann Limb
The founding chair of the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership has received a Damehood in The Queen’s Birthday Honours List for her services to young people and philanthropy.
Ann Limb said she would use the honour to ‘encourage young people, regardless of their start in life, to step up to serve humanity with kindness, compassion and in a spirit of peace building’.
She left SEMLEP in 2019 and is currently chair of The Scouts – the first woman to be elected chair of trustees in the movement’s 108-year history – and is vice chair of the City & Guilds of London Institute. Ms Limb received an OBE for public service and services to education in 2011 and, four years later, a CBE for public and political services.
