IMS secretary general receives MBE for services to international trade
Dr Phil Hadley, secretary general of the International Meat Secretariat (IMS), has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours.

He received the award in recognition of his services to international trade in agriculture.

Before taking up his role at IMS, Dr Hadley was international market development director at the UK’s Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).

Speaking about the honour, he described it as “a tremendous honour” to have been recognised for his work in securing market access and creating export opportunities for UK farmers and food producers. He added that exports were essential for balancing the carcass and supporting livestock values by opening high-value overseas markets.

Dr Hadley said he was pleased to have contributed to export growth over many years in collaboration with both industry and government.
