Kent Heazlett recognised in the Queen Birthday 2019 Honours List

Tuesday, June 11, 2019

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) congratulates Mr Kent Heazlett for receiving recognition in the Queen's Birthday 2019 Honours List as announced by the Governor General yesterday, 10 June 2019.

Kent received the recognition of MEMBER (AM) IN THE GENERAL DIVISION for"significant service to business and international trade".
 
As well as running his own business (Cornish International) for many years, Kent was selfless in his time given in industry association roles and as a long term industry representative on the National Customs Brokers Licensing Advisory Committee (NCBLAC).
 
Kent could have equally received the award for his charity work with the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association where he was President for 20 years. He notched up his 25th 'finish' in the 111km Classic last year.
 

When asked to comment on his award, Kent said "I am honoured to receive such recognition but at the same time I'm cognisant of the fact that we could not have done what we did at the time without the support mechanism I had around me. I want to acknowledge and thank my fellow workers at Cornish International who covered for me when I was out of the office on industry business."

"Having accepted the award, I am also acutely aware that there are many unsung, past and present industry leaders who are more worthy of such recognition than me."
