East Cleveland cadet is named the Lord Lieutenant Cadet for North Yorkshire


An East Cleveland cadet has become the first from the Guisborough unit for 10 years to be named the Lord Lieutenant Cadet for North Yorkshire.


Able cadet Joe Gibbs, 17, from Grinkle, was awarded the accolade - also becoming the first Able Cadet to receive the award, as leading and petty officer cadets this is a phenomenal achievement.


AC Gibbs received his award from Ken Gillance, an ex barrister and immigration judge who has been the unit vice president for 15 years.

Robert Fielden, commanding officer at the Guisborough and East Cleveland Unit, who meet at Belmangate, said: “AC Gibbs is doing his A-Levels and hopes to go in the Navy as an Air Crew Officer.


“He is an outstanding Sea Cadet. He is an enthusiastic, hardworking, trustworthy, loyal, mature and a polite well-mannered young man and is a credit to the unit. I was extremely proud of AC Gibbs when he was awarded his bronze and silver wings from the Sea Cadet aviation scheme and he is hoping to achieve his gold later this year.”
