Leeds man recognised for stalwart commitment to trade
Yorkshire Evening Post
|October 21, 2025
A Yorkshireman has been presented with an award recognising his longstanding commitment and contribution to a national trade body and the sector it represents.
Robert (Bob) Smith, 85, from Leeds, received a specially created award at a networking event and gala dinner hosted by the Painting and Decorating Association (PDA).
The award was created by PDA Chief Executive Neil Ogilvie to thank Bob for his 55 years of dedicated service.
Bob said: "I was honoured to receive the CEO Award for my participation in local, regional and national activities of the PDA since 1970.
"I feel our industry is fortunate in having its own employers and trade association which I believe promotes our members' professionalism, interests and standing in the community and the wider construction industry.
"I have appreciated and enjoyed my participation in its affairs and hope I have made a contribution to its status, wellbeing and benefits to our members and our industry."
