In 2014, the Barbadian-born veteran broadcaster and journalist received an MBE, one of five classes of appointment to the Order of the British Empire, for his 50 years of contribution to the media.<\/p>

Other alumni recognised at the celebrations were Marcus Steele, managing director of Carreras Limited; journalist Giovanni Dennis; Jamaican discus thrower Fedrick Dacres; athlete Traves Smikle; Judge Judith Pusey; and chief executive officer of the\u00a0Jamaica Information Service<\/em>\u00a0Donna-Marie Rowe.<\/p>\n
