CBE
Hyde, who has more than 30 years' experience in work-based learning for the hospitality industry, achieved the highest honour - the Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services in the further education and training sectors.
He said: "I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of all my staff at HIT and other colleagues working to deliver apprenticeships and up-skill the country.
"The satisfaction for me is seeing employees in the hotel and catering sector gain skills, confidence and competence through their apprenticeship to improve their life chances and earning potential.
"The hospitality industry has changed beyond recognition in the last 30 years with a phenomenal rise in UK-trained Michelin starred chefs, rise of fine dining, gastropubs and exciting new culinary offerings. The catering apprenticeship providers and further education colleges have provided the trained chefs to meet this expansion."
Honours recipients, who will receive their awards at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace later this year, were given extra time to celebrate on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 as pubs were permitted extended licensing hours until 1am to mark Her Majesty's official birthday.
