Paul, managing director of Hull firm Sewell Group, will pick up his gong which he received for services to business and the community ¬from Buckingham Palace tomorrow.
He travelled to the capital with his wife Sue together with his son Patrick and his wife Catherine. His grandson son Zach, and mother-in-law Audrey Wakefield, also joined them.
First Hull Trains provided the tickets for Paul and his wife, while the rest of his family travelled courtesy of Mercury Marketing ¬- First Hull Trains and Sewell Group’s PR partners.
Simon Taylor, Mercury’s managing director, also provided a bottle of champagne for the family to enjoy as they made their way to the capital on the 12.30 First Hull Trains service.
David Townend, sales and marketing manager for First Hull Trains, said: “The OBE is an honour well deserved for Paul.
“His contribution over the years has not just to business, but to the city as a whole. It’s great that this has too been recognised. He has been a huge supporter of everything we do here at First Hull Trains for many years.
“Everyone across Hull and the wider area is proud of Paul and we wanted to show him this, we are delighted to repay some of his wonderful support by taking the family down to London for one of the biggest day's of Paul’s life.
“I hope Paul and his family enjoy their trip to London and have a pleasant and relaxing journey to and from the capital on First Hull Trains.”
Paul said: “Receiving the OBE is honour indeed and it was an added bonus to be treated to some complementary rail passed for our journey to London.
“First Hull Trains provide a vital link to and from the city which generates wealth and prosperity – the service they provide for business and leisure travellers is a great asset to the city.”
