In the grand narrative of the British Empire, there stands a testament to courage and service, a medal minted not for the multitude, but the valiant and committed. This token of distinction was none other than the Queen's South Africa Medal, a prestigious recognition conferred upon those who exhibited exceptional courage during the Second Boer War.

Today, as we traverse the challenging expanses of the global wealth landscape, the principles enshrined in this historic medal remain the guiding star for the GOOD Fellows initiative.

The Queen's South Africa Medal, a tangible manifestation of valour, bore as many as twenty-six clasps, each symbolising participation in distinct actions and campaigns. These clasps reflect the tireless commitment of those in the face of overwhelming odds - an attribute that mirrors the dedication of the GOOD Fellows in sculpting the edifice of sustainable wealth management.

This illustrious medal's ribbon bar, indicative of an unwavering adherence to duty, reverberates in the GOOD Fellows' ceaseless endeavours to redefine global wealth. Just as the Queen's South Africa Medal commemorated service and courage in the hostile terrains of war, the GOOD Fellows Awards recognise relentless service in the often-turbulent theatre of global wealth.

Thus, the resonance of the GOOD Fellows Awards permeates through time, weaving the past, present, and future into a unified fabric of excellence and service, reminiscent of the gallant essence of the Queen's South Africa Medal.

GOOD FELLOWS - QUEEN'S SOUTH AFRICA MEDAL (1899)

Awarded to Matthew Hurn OBE, Guildhall, London Global Wealth Conference Europe 2023

Prosperity for me is linked to two other key factors: health and happiness.

I think in today’s society people put too much weight on the physical or financial element of prosperity, whereas focus more on the health and happiness part. If you have those two, you would trade in the other aspects

Ma hew Hurn OBE, THE STALWART ENVOY OF LONDON’S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

Matthew believes that prosperity extends far beyond the realms of financial and material wealth. While acknowledging the importance of financial stability, he places equal emphasis on the two fundamental pillars of health and happiness. In his worldview, these aspects form the cornerstone of true prosperity, encapsulating a holistic and well-rounded definition of wealth.

“If you can have great understanding, a greater respect and this kind of view of empathy, you will build far more rewarding relationships, far more high performing teams and think you’ll get a sense of loyalty that you won’t get in any other way.”

In today's society, the focus often tends to be solely on the physical or financial aspects of prosperity. However, Matthew Hurn challenges this narrow perspective, urging us to shift our attention towards the vital elements of health and happiness. He highlights the profound significance of these factors, asserting that they hold the power to outweigh and surpass any material wealth.
