Voluntary organisations supported by Fred Hill
This single sheet lists all the voluntary organisations supported by Fred Hill and which led to him being awarded a Member of the British Empire. Hill founded the UK team that took part for the first time in 1956. The typed list includes the International Apprentice Competition, as it was often called, but is of interest because it also mentions his support for the Union of Europe, an organisation supporting greater European unity, in the 1930s. It was this organisation that passed on invitations from Spain to the 1953 competition to a number of countries, including Germany. -
International Apprentices Vocational Training Competition. Early History of its founding and British entry
International Apprentices Vocational Training Competition. Early History of its founding and British entry. By John H. Ireland (Instructor - Steal Company of Wales). Document detailing the history of the IVTO and the UK entry from 1947 to 1964. The author was John H Ireland, an instructor with the Steel Company of Wales. The document gives great detail of the UK's entry to the IVTO and competitions, including the work of Fred Hill and Arthur Emerson. Of interest is the revelation that the Spanish organisers contracted UK organisations about the 1953 competition but were ignored. It was only after he learned about it indirectly that Fred Hill decided to journey to Madrid with his son Doug. Hill's later attempts to involve British industry in the competition are also detailed. The paper then records the formation of the UK team and the assistance provided by City & Guilds and a small number of UK companies -

Letter from the Secretary of the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood to Fred Hill, 24/01/1964
Letter from the Secretary of the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood to Fred Hill, 24/01/1964 Subject: Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) investiture invitation letter. Hill received the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) a highly prestigious honour, in recognition of his services to the voluntary sector including the youth apprentice competitions. Hill was one of the founders of the International Vocational Training Organisation (IVTO) in 1956 and a major figure in the global skills movement. The award reflects his wide range of voluntary work. Fred Hill accompanied his son Doug to the 1953 competition in Madrid, making them the first British participants. Hill then organized and funded the first British team in 1956 and was a major figure in the creation of the IVTO, later working to bring new members to the organization. -
Organizing Committee meeting minutes, 16/10/1964
Organizing Committee meeting minutes, 16/10/1964. On page 3 Mr. Klaus Ditlman, the Official Representative for Germany, brings up "Feminine participation" as an agenda item. The minutes state that "After Mr. Ditlman, who had proposed feminine participation in our competitions, had declared the desirability of allowing women to take part in the competitions, and had carefully studied the matter, with the intervention of the majority of counsellors, the Council agrees that an article should appear in the Rules in which the possibility of women taking part is made clear, competing with young men in those trades deemed desirable by the Council and published in the announcement of the competitions." -
