Liz Darlison commissioned for role ‘in honour of her service to local community’.
Liz Darlison MBE, chief executive of Mesothelioma UK, has been appointed as a new Deputy Lieutenant for Leicestershire.
Mesothelioma UK is a national asbestos-related cancer charity, based in Mountsorrel, Leicestershire and works with over 30 specialist nurses based in NHS trusts across the country.
Liz is one of four new Deputy Lieutenants – joining Rachel Tidmarsh, Ian Mattioli MBE and Graham Smith - who have been commissioned in honour of their service to the local community.
The Lord-Lieutenant is the official representative of His Majesty the King for the city and county of Leicester.
Deputy Lieutenants undertake a wide range of duties and engagements including representing the Lord-Lieutenant and participating in citizenship ceremonies, attending remembrance services and parades, and helping to assess local organisations nominated for awards and honours.
Commenting on her appointment, Liz Darlison said: "This is such an honour for me to be commissioned to support the work of the Lord-Lieutenant in my home county of Leicestershire.
"Although Mesothelioma UK is a charity with a national reach, we started our journey in Leicestershire and our UK headquarters are in Mountsorrel so we’re still very much at the heart of the local community."
Mike Kapur OBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire added: "The Lieutenancy has enjoyed long-standing links with the uniformed services and with local community and voluntary organisations of Leicester and Leicestershire.
"These links are further enhanced following the appointments of Liz and the other very deserving candidates."
