The force is with David Ashman OBE
Comments |
Accountant David Ashman has been made an OBE for years of
dedicated voluntary service.
The partnership chairman at Reeves, the accounting and business
advisory firm with offices in Canterbury, Chatham Maritime, London
and Gatwick, was given the honour for voluntary service to the
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) Forces
Help.
The association was founded in 1885 and is the UK's oldest
national military charity. It provides financial, practical and
emotional assistance to current and past serving men and women from
the Army, Navy and RAF, and their families.
SSAFA supports around 50,000 people each year with issues such
as welfare, housing, health and social working, adoption and
mentoring among others.
Mr Ashman has been the organisation's national honorary
treasurer for the past three years. He worked for the Kent branch
as treasurer for more than 22 years. Nine years ago he became a
trustee of the charity.
Mr Ashman, a specialist for Reeves in the charity and not for
profit sectors, said: "I am absolutely delighted to be recognised
with this honour and for being part of such a deserving charity.
The work SSAFA does is amazing and really makes a difference to
people's lives. It is a privilege to support the volunteers who do
so much to assist serving and ex-service men, women and their
families who are in need."
Clive Stevens, managing partner, added: "I am delighted that
David should receive this as it is extremely well deserved for the
amount of time, effort and expertise he has given SSAFA over a very
long period of time."
