Gerrards Cross residents given honours

Her paid job is as chief executive of the Dyslexia Action, which runs 160 teaching locations across the UK, but she believes the CBE is a result of her unpaid work for six years as a non executive director of the National Learning and Skills Council, a government body which plans and funds further education and work based training. Squeezing the work into evenings, weekends, and during her working day, she chaired the equality and diversity committee and the working together advisory group from 2002 until she left the post last month.
Mrs Cramer said: "I had to read the letter three times, because you can't really believe it. You do feel incredibly surprised, you don think am I deserving."
She will take her 86 year old father, from Cumbria, with her to Buckingham Palace "because it will mean a lot to him," she said.
Mrs Cramer is married to Carl and has two daughters, Grace, 19, a student at Durham University, and Olivia, 17, a pupil at Dr Challoner's High School.

A professor from Gerrards Cross has been awarded an OBE for public service.
Martin Cave, who is a professor at Warwick Business School, is an economist specialising in the regulation of sectors such as airports, broadcasting, housing and water.
Professor Cave has been involved in providing advice on these matters to the UK and other governments and to the European Commission.
He produced a review of the regulation of social housing for the Department of Communities and Local Government, which served as the basis for the creation of the new Tenant Services Agency by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008.
At the moment, he is conducting a review of competition and innovation in the water industry and is also chairing an expert panel advising the Secretary of State for Transport on the future of airport regulation.
