Stuart Gibbons from the Le Mark Group was awarded an OBE for Services to International Trade in the Queens 2021 Honors List.
Mr Gibbons said people often ask him why he started a business like Le Mark and he says: “It's a really simple answer, necessity.
"It all happened very fast, from being a part of a business family to going solo happened within one week!
“However aged 29, anything was possible and I saw it as an opportunity to not only provide for my family, but to test and unlock a new entrepreneurial part of me.”
Thirty-four years later he says: “Le Mark is still growing, evolving and as an entity is something far more than I ever anticipated.
"It has its own family, regional and
political voice, plus a unique sense of social awareness.
