National recognition for the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection

Report of the Chairman of the Markets Committee.

“David Smith, Director of Markets and Consumer Protection, was presented with the award for making an ‘outstanding contribution to the markets industry’ by the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) at their conference on 21 September 2015.

NABMA’s Chief Executive, Graham Wilson OBE, presented David with the award, stating:

“Each year NABMA makes an award to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the markets industry. The award has been in existence for several years and has featured a wide variety of people from different backgrounds. Two years ago the award was renamed the Krys Zasada award in memory of NABMA's Policy Officer. This year's recipient is David Smith CBE who joined the Corporation of London in 2003 and since that time has been responsible for three of the UK's premier Wholesale Markets at Billingsgate, Smithfield and New Spitalfields. David has not only demonstrated exemplary leadership in the management of these markets but has worked to promote markets nationally and internationally through NABMA and The World Union of Wholesale Markets. He has been Chairman of NABMA's Wholesale Forum, bringing together Wholesale Markets throughout the country, and was also instrumental in the formation of the Association of London Markets. David is a worthy recipient of NABMA's award.”

I commend this achievement to the Court.”
