We are delighted to announce that TDP Founder and Managing Director, Rob Barlow, has been recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours List on 13th June 2026 with an MBE for Services to Sustainable Manufacturing and to Charity.
A truly well-deserved honour, this recognition reflects more than 35 years of dedication to British manufacturing, the circular economy and supporting communities both locally and around the world.
In Rob’s own words, while this is a proud personal achievement, it is also a reflection of the incredible team, mentors and wider community that have supported TDP’s journey. From championing sustainable manufacturing to his longstanding work with Aquabox, Rob has consistently demonstrated a commitment to making a positive difference.
