Servest Group’s Security MD, Jason Etherington, has been awarded an OBE for his career achievements to date.

Prior to joining Servest in 2016, Etherington had commanded at every level up to Colonel in the Ministry of Defence (MoD), serving the country in all corners of the globe. In the last decade, he successfully grappled with the unique challenges of Apache helicopter operations, as well as operational and structural changes never faced before by the Force, the OBE recognises his vital contribution to date.

Etherington’s inclusion on this year’s Honours list is testament to the fact that he is recognised by international partners as setting the benchmark.

As managing director of Servest Security, a £28M man guarding and security systems business, Etherington continues to share his comprehensive management and leadership experience and MoD understanding with the wider team. His priority is to improve the service offering and working relationships across the entire security division and Servest Group.

“We are delighted to hear of Jason’s outstanding achievement,” commented Rob Legge, Group CEO. “Jason’s OBE further demonstrates his expertise, experience and dedication. The insight that Jason brings to the team is invaluable and I know that this will be a contributing factor in our continued success.”

Etherington said: “This award is a source of great pride: I’m truly humbled to receive the Queen’s honour and recognise that I have been fortunate to have been supported by exceptional teams throughout my previous career.”
