Jenny Sharkey MBE

Congratulations to Jenny Sharkey, who was presented with a hugely deserved MBE at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
As I explained here, Jenny worked at Forest when I joined in 1999. Two years later she left to join Theresa May’s office in the House of Commons.
This is Jenny’s nineteenth year working for the former PM and Home Secretary so you can imagine what a rollercoaster ride it’s been. Despite that, she’s “enjoyed every minute of it”.
Renowned for her loyalty and discretion, Jenny was awarded the MBE in Theresa May’s resignation honours list and following yesterday’s investiture at the Palace family, friends and colleagues joined her for a celebratory drink.
Those who decry the honours system should have been there. It was a lovely occasion, albeit woefully short on gossip!
