CAA are delighted to announce that Phyllis Craig, senior welfare rights officer and Chair of CAA, has been named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2011 and is to receive an MBE ‘For Services to Sufferers of Asbestos-Related Diseases’.
Phyllis said: “I am truly honoured at being nominated for such a prestigious award. However, I would like to say that it is those who live with an asbestos related disease, and the families of those who have died, who should be recognised. Having been at CAA for almost 17 years, both myself and my colleagues are proud to campaign for and provide support to sufferers of asbestos related diseases and their families.”
All here at CAA would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Phyllis. Those of us who work closely with Phyllis, and see first hand how tirelessly she campaigns for those who suffer from asbestos related disease, know how richly deserved this recognition is.
