Former director of the IOM Ship Registry shocked by announcement
The former director of the Isle of Man Ship Registry has said he was blown away when told he was to become an MBE.
Dick Welsh, who retired from the role in 2019, is described as being in the vanguard of the Manx maritime community for a quarter of a century.
Leading a devoted local team, he is credited with helping the Manx registry achieve an exceptional global reputation.
When he was told of his MBE, he says he was amazed and very surprised:
