Mr Nairi, who retired in May, first joined the Department as a Clerical Officer in the Insolvency Service back in 1975.

Last month he returned to the Department to receive his award from the Permanent Secretary, Robin Young, who made the presentation on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen at a short formal ceremony held in 1 Victoria Street with Shankar's family, friends and former colleagues.

Presenting the medal, the Permanent Secretary said: "This award is made with the approval of Her Majesty and is accorded only to those who have served the Crown for no less than 25-years service.I heartily congratulate him on his achievement and thank him for his commitment to duty over many years.''
