Servest Group’s Security MD, Jason Etherington, has been awarded an OBE.
Joining Servest in 2016, Etherington had commanded at every level up to colonel in the Ministry of Defence (MoD), serving the country in all parts of the globe. In the last decade, he grappled with the challenges of Apache helicopter operations, as well as operational and structural changes never faced before by the armed forces; the OBE recognises his contributions there.
Rob Legge, Group CEO said: “We are delighted to hear of Jason’s outstanding achievement. Jason’s OBE further demonstrates his expertise, experience and dedication. The insight that Jason brings to the team is invaluable and I know that this will be a contributing factor in our continued success.”
And Etherington said: “This award is a source of great pride: I’m truly humbled to receive the Queen’s honour and recognise that I have been fortunate to have been supported by exceptional teams throughout my previous career.”
