Ian received an MBE for services to Tennis and Charity. Ian shared with the Hall: “I am very pleased and privileged to receive this honour, recognising the great work of the team at the All England Club and their contribution to society including through the Wimbledon Foundation. I remember my years at Teddy Hall with great affection and am forever grateful for the experiences, confidence and friendships that I gained during that special time which formed an important platform for my life.”
Lastly Andrew received a CB (Companion of the Order of the Bath) listed in the 2024 New Year’s Military Honours list.
Congratulations to all three Aularians; you make Teddy Hall very proud.
