Lawrie is chair of both Magnox Ltd and Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd, and has been given the award for his voluntary service to serving RAF personnel and veterans.

Lawrie, a former RAF Apprentice and aircraft technician, has recently stepped down after 16 years on the RAF Benevolent Fund (RAFBF) Board, the last eight as Chair.

Lawrie Haynes (CBE) said: “I am hugely delighted to receive this honour and accept it on behalf of everyone who works so hard at the RAFBF to support RAF personnel, both past and present. The work done at RAFBF touches and improves the lives of so many people, I am so proud to have been associated with it.”

David Peattie, Group CEO NDA, added: “Everyone across the NDA will join me in congratulating Lawrie for this tremendous honour. The support he has given to the RAFBF has been significant over many years and I am glad this has been recognised.”

The investiture will be at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle later this year.
