Michele Gioachin, president of Aermec UK and export sales manager for Aermec, has been awarded the prestigious Ordine al Merito del Lavoro medal by the Italian government.
The award was founded as a national order of chivalry in 1923 by King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy; it is presented to those ‘who have been singularly meritorious’ in agriculture, industry and commerce, crafts, lending and insurance.
Michele said: “I am so proud to be awarded a medal in recognition of my work at Aermec. It is a great achievement and also recognises the support and commitment that Aermec has offered throughout my career. I hope this is an inspiration for others.”
The honorary title, is given to Italian citizens who have worked continuously for at least 25 years in the same company and is bestowed by decree of the president of Italy following recommendations by the minister of economic development.
The award is open to all Italians, whether living at home or overseas. Only 25 recipients are selected from a short list of 40 candidates every year.
