RODE CEO AWARDED ORDER OF AUSTRALIA
11 February 2016
Peter Freedman, Rode Microphones’ founder and owner, has been appointed a member of the Order Of Australia. The award comes in recognition of his significant service to business, manufacturing and export, and his philanthropic support of cultural events. “To be recognised at the highest level, by the greatest country in the world and for work within an industry you love, is for me the pinnacle of success,” commented Mr Freedman. “To say I am honoured, and so very humbled, is an understatement.” As a sponsor of the Sydney Festival and a founding member of its 40th anniversary fund dedicated to nurturing Aussie music artists, Freedman has played a significant role outside of just the business sector. Sydney Festival director Lieven Bertels said: “I am extremely thrilled with this long-overdue recognition of Peter’s work in an industry I’ve always been passionate about myself. His help towards Sydney Festival has made a huge difference in our 40th anniversary celebrations this year.”
