Location, Location, Location TV show star Phil Spencer (main image) has received an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List.
The 56-year-old, who has co-presented the Chanel 4 series for 25-years with Kirstie Allsopp, has been honoured for his work as the official Patron of charity St Mungo’s.
It works with people facing rough sleeping and homelessness in London including the provision of emergency housing, opportunities to learn new skills and also innovative accommodation projects.
Spencer became a patron of St Mungo’s in 2010 as has described receiving an MBE as “one hell of a thing and overwhelming”.
“I’m hugely honoured and humbled. I mean, it’s a hell of a thing. It’s not something that I’d ever expected or even thought about.
“It’s all very kind of sudden and a bit of a shock and a surprise. So it’s quite overwhelming, it’s not quite overwhelming, it’s very overwhelming. I’m completely blown away.”
His relationship with St Mungo’s began when he had a home search business in the 1990s finding homes for the “very wealthy” and decided to put a percentage of every fee “back into the bottom end of the market”.
Over the years he has volunteered on various projects, events and fundraising activities for the non-profit organisation which supports people who are homeless and campaigns for change.
He is also patron of the charities Ellenor children’s hospice, The Country Food Trust, and property industry charity Agents Giving.
Emma Haddad (pictured), chief executive of St Mungo’s said: “We’d like to congratulate Phil Spencer for this most amazing achievement. He’s been a St Mungo’s patron since 2010 and within that time, he’s shown incredible passion and dedication.
“Throughout the years, Phil has continued to support and engage with St Mungo’s work through visits and volunteering at various projects and services, and by supporting numerous events and fundraising activities which have people affected by homelessness at their heart.”
