I would like to thank those who recommended Mr Berridge for this honour.

When he moved to Waveney and became the chief executive of the district council he gave his all; way and above what was expected of him as chief executive.

He is respected by all who know him not only as the chief executive of Waveney but involving himself with lots of activities within the district and getting to know its residents.

When he took his chief executive hat off he became your friend; if you had a problem he was there to help if needed. Above all he has a wonderful sense of humour.

Congratulations Malcolm, well done and well deserved.
