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.
