Here at Bayleaf Honours, we know how to tell the story of your colleague or loved one who you think deserves an Honour from the Queen. We are experienced writers who understand the process and can help you to put together a nomination with the greatest possible chance of success.

We are part of the Bayleaf Solutions group – our motto is Making Words Count. We recognise the value of excellence in writing and provide services to those whose words need to count; including our CV / Resume business, Bayleaf Jobs, and our business awards support group, Bayleaf Awards.

The team is led by Mike McKie who founded the business in 2018 to provide a high-quality and price-accessible alternative to the high-priced boutique alternatives already existing. The focus of the business is finding clients from groups who are under-represented in the honours system.

The UK has a long tradition of rewarding individuals for their bravery, contribution or service to the country through the system of honours awarded by the monarch – currently, the Queen’s Honours (sometimes also called the New Year’s Honours and the Birthday Honours for the times of the year that the announcements are made). There are various orders awarded for a wide variety of reasons – from specific acts or deeds, to lifetime service recognition.

We also provide support and advice for those wanting to join the Upper Chamber of Parliament, the House of Lords, as working cross-bench peers. This process consists of an application, references and several interview stages.
