Achievements
Old Malvernians continue to make their mark across the globe, and this year has been no exception.
We were thrilled to see Jim Murray and his wife Sarah Parish appointed MBEs in The King’s New Year Honours for their extraordinary work with Imagine This, founded in memory of their daughter to support children’s hospitals across the UK. In the King’s Birthday Honours 2024, Lieutenant Colonel Rob Philipson-Stow and Robert Caudwell were awarded OBEs, while Brigadier Edward Chamberlain received a CBE. Rob was recognised for his role in planning three of the UK’s most significant ceremonial events in recent history - the Platinum Jubilee, the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla. Robert was honoured for his work on Lowland Peat Carbon Stores and food security, and Edward for his leadership as Head of the Army’s Personnel Services Group.
Adventure played a part in this year’s stories. Banita Dodhia undertook a 3,000km rickshaw journey across India with her parents, raising over £10,000 for Shishukunj London, a charity supporting children in need.
