<strong>Aroundtown</strong> MEETS “I get asked all the time how much money I made from it. And the answer is one pound. Katherine and I and others involved all sold our intellectual property rights for £1 so that every hospital in the UK can use it for free. If trusts must use their budgets to pay for it, then it defeats the object.” The accolades Dame Hilary has earned for her dedication to nursing means she now has many letters after her name. She went on to achieve her nursing degree and master’s, was given an honorary doctorate by the University of Sheffield, was made a professor at Sheffield Hallam University, and a fellow at the Royal College of Nursing. For her services to nursing, she was first awarded a CBE before being made a dame in the 2018 honours. “When I became a Sister on ICU I think my parents nearly burst. I felt guilty when I was awarded the CBE but my mum didn’t. She used to meet up with all the retired teachers from our school and I remember when she told my old RE teacher she said, ‘Fancy that from little Hilary Brown.’ “Sadly, Mum didn’t get to see me get the damehood but, because she was so poorly and we knew she wouldn’t make it, I was allowed to tell her before it was officially announced.” Wherever she may be, I’m sure she’ll be looking down on her daughter and beaming with pride as she dons her uniform and represents the Queen. After years of campaigning from the Lord- Lieutenants, this is the first year that women have been allowed to wear a uniform like their male counterparts. “To prepare, I was given a one-and-a-half-hour lesson with a regimental sergeant major about how the uniform should be worn, how to stand, and how to salute.” Her first month in the role was full of events, from being invited to Barnsley College’s graduation ceremony to officially unveiling the Covid memorial in Barnsley alongside former Archbishop of York, Lord Bishop John Sentamu. “The Lord-Lieutenancy role comes with lots of rules, regulations and precedence. As Her Majesty’s representative, it is my duty to do as the Queen would do or walk out at ceremonies in the order she would. One of my first official events in uniform was the Remembrance Day parade in Barnsley. It was an honour to “ As Her Majesty’s representative, it is my duty to do as the Queen would do or walk out at ceremonies in the order she would. One of my first official events in uniform was the Remembrance Day parade in Barnsley ” be surrounded by so many of the town’s veterans and military community and to lay the first wreath at the cenotaph. I obviously can’t attend all four regions at 11am on the same day, so I will rotate between Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster and Sheffield each Remembrance Sunday.” As well as being a dignitary at ceremonies, Dame Hilary’s role will also see her give out honours and awards to South Yorkshire people and businesses on behalf of the sovereign, such as the British Empire Medal, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise or Voluntary Service, Citizenship ceremonies, and attend Freedom of the Borough events. In November, Dame Hilary proudly presented two South Yorkshire based businesses with the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, both of whom stipulated the awards be given at their respective shops or factories. The Community Shop in Athersley, part of Tankersley’s Company Group, was presented with the award for Promoting Opportunity in recognition of its social impact to break longterm dependence on food aid through life-changing training and development programmes. Dame Hilary then presented SJM Alloys and Metals with the International Trade award at their Rotherham factory for the shortterm growth they have seen in global sales of recycled alloys and steels, with clients in Japan, USA and Europe. This year, Dame Hilary will award some of the Queen’s New Year honours to South Yorkshire recipients, including the British Empire Medal to 11-year-old Paces School pupil ‘Captain’ Tobias Weller from Sheffield who raised over £150,000 for his school and The Children’s Hospital Charity and is the youngest person on record to be awarded an honour. “This role is so varied and I can’t wait to meet more people who do amazing things. The people who deserve the honours are often those who never come forward; they hide their light under a bushel. When you start to dig and poke your nose in, you get to know all about those people who have maybe gone unnoticed.” With such a large county to cover, Dame Hilary is supported by a Vice Lord-Lieutenant and 42 deputies who come from all walks of life, from the military and police to retail and industry. You are invited to be a deputy and ultimately, Dame Hilary will be on the lookout for more people to ask to take on the role, as she was back in 2016. “Often the best Deputy Lieutenants are the busiest people. They’re those who are already out there in the community. In South Yorkshire, with credit to Andrew, we have a mix of genders, faiths and races to reflect our communities. We make a conscious effort to look at the Census across the boroughs and identify our different cultures and communities.” While the deputies are split across the four regions of South Yorkshire, Dame Hilary’s HQ is at Barnsley in the iconic town hall building. She is assisted by a very capable team including the Vice Lord-Lieutenant John Holt, Lieutenancy Officer Phil Barraclough, her PA Alison and at home, her husband Neil who was the finance director at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. “The support I’ve received from Barnsley Council has been secondto-none and I have to pinch myself sometimes how lucky I am to work in such a magnificent building. The team has been wonderfully supportive and although she’s new to the role, Alison who has had a great handover from her predecessor, Lorraine, has taken to it brilliantly and is the one who makes it all happen. “And of course, I wouldn’t be here without my husband making me stop and think. He was more excited than me about it and even went and bought a whole new wardrobe from Frank Bird down on Eldon Street for all these new occasions.” We’d like to wish Dame Hilary the very best of luck in her new role and look forward to sharing her journey with <strong>Aroundtown</strong> readers. 6 aroundtownmagazine.co.uk
