Double World Record Breaker Named to King’s
Birthday Honors List
Dean Stott, former UK Tier One Special Forces, double world
record breaker and current host of Netflix’s new hit show ‘Toughest
Forces on Earth,’ has been awarded the distinguished honor of
Member of the Most Excellent Order of The British Empire (MBE) for
his services to sport, humanitarian and mental health
awareness.
Stott is a retired UK Special Boat Service (SBS) soldier with an
extensive 16-year military career. During his time in the military,
he conducted deployments to hostile environments, worked within
counterterrorism operations, and survived a horrific parachuting
accident which ended his military career.
Now a world-leading security consultant and record-breaking
cyclist, Stott has transitioned to the private security sector.
From corporate assignments to ultra-high net worth individuals, he
has delivered security solutions at all levels, for clients
including governments, presidents, and royal families. In that
role, he has successfully dealt with extortion, kidnapping, civil
war, pirates, and military coups. In 2014, he single-handedly
evacuated the Canadian Embassy in Libya, rescuing four diplomats
and 18 military personnel. 2021 saw him aid in the evacuation of
over a thousand people from Afghanistan and more recently aided in
Israel following the October 7th attacks.
Stott has also become a global adventurer and record-breaking
cyclist, having cycled the entire 14,000-mile length of the
Pan-American Highway in 99 days, 12 hours, and 56 minutes–good
enough to smash the previous record by 17 days raising over a
million dollars in the process.
The MBE designation award comes exactly 18 months after Stott’s
wife, author and humanitarian Alana Stott, MBE also received the
title for her services to vulnerable women and children and mental
health awareness.
“I was over the moon when I heard about my wife’s recognition
last year,” said Stott. “For us both now to be honored is the icing
on the cake. We are blessed to be able to live a life of purpose
and this tremendous honor brings recognition that will support us
in the work we continue to do.”
The Stott duo can also be seen on their podcast, “Behind the
Seen,” which provides a unique perspective on the dynamics of
military relationships and family values. Dean Stott is also the
author of Relentless, in which he shares many of his unique
experiences.
