A huge congratulations to our Chair of Trustees, Sophie Milliken, who has been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year’s honours for her services to business and education.
Sophie was the co-founder and Managing Director of SRS Recruitment and Employability Experts before selling the company in 2019. In January 2022 Sophie set up Moja, who work to raise the professional profiles of entrepreneurs and senior executives within their expert industry.
Sophie says, “I am absolutely thrilled to be included in such a prestigious list. I was shocked and delighted when I found out I had been awarded an MBE- I consider myself very lucky to work with so many amazing people across the region and beyond. The North East is a hotbed of talent and philanthropy and I hope that this award will help raise the profile of the great opportunities and initiatives in this region.”
