An agent who helps ex-service people into work has received an MBE.
Richard Tucker, 58, served in the RAF for 20 years, including in the first Gulf War, before setting up a student accommodation firm, AAA Property North East, in Newton Aycliffe, near Darlington.
Out of that business grew his AAA Caring Caretaker business, which provides handymen.
Initially, the handymen – many of whom are former service personnel – worked on his own company’s properties, but they now work for a host of clients, including landlords, other agents and the NHS.
Over the years, he has helped at least 70 former service people into work.
All are vetted and trained, and given further support where necessary.
Now this is a great story. Kudos for a great idea being duly recognised.
