Angela Farrugia, founder of Brand x Society and the first ever recipient of the Brand Ambassador accolade at the Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards, has been made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE).
Angela received the honour in recognition of services to business and licensing from Princess Anne at Windsor Castle on 4 December 2024.
The honour – a first for the licensing industry – was announced in His Majesty the King’s Birthday Honours List 2024 and awarded by the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.
Angela – who attended the ceremony with her husband and two sons – was co-founder of The Licensing Company (TLC) which went on to become one of the most successful brand licensing agencies in the world, generating over $12.4 billion in retail sales from its offices in more than 18 countries.
