From the Council, though I certainly add my congratulations:

Congratulations to John Schultz, former Council Chief Executive, who has received a CBE for Services to Local Government in the 2010 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

John Schultz joined the Council as Chief Executive in May 1994 and retired in March this year. He was also President of SOLACE, the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives, in 2006-07. John Schultz has said: “It’s a great honour but it’s not just about me, it’s a tribute to the work of everybody at the Council.”
