Two Local People Feature in Queen's Birthday Honours List
Pablo Hepworth Lloyd and Asal Shirazi awarded
Two Chiswick residents are among those whose work has been recognised in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Pablo Hepworth Lloyd was made an OBE for his efforts to develop the skills of young people in partnership with government and business.
He told us, "I’m delighted to highlight the work of WorldskillsUK, the charity promoting world-class vocational skills. Team UK will be competing for international medals in Russia this August, see www.worldskillsuk.org."

Asal Shirazi was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to Autoimmune Disease Awareness and Education. She is the founder of Jeunvie Skincare and the Autoimmune Support Awareness London.
She has brought up five children and suffers from a rare autoimmune condition. Despite this she researched the effects of chemicals on skin during pregnancy. She has a medical & pharmaceutical back ground and is a skincare practitioner. She is mostly housebound due to her disability but using her phone she talks and messages and educates/mentor others on auto immune disease.

Her daughter told us, "She has very good friends & family who have helped set up the skincare brand to help her achieve her goal of educating the public about skincare chemicals that may have robbed her of her life. She is constantly battling authorities to recognise 'invisible' disabilities and diseases."
She first created Jeunvie but later was prompted by one of her stays at hospital to create a pregnancy safe skincare range for "Mums To Be" so there would be safety and peace of mind yet be able to tackle the needs of pregnant woman's skin.
She has previously received medals from other European Governments for skincare innovation and her contribution to humanity.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
