In 1956, he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.^[1]

In 1960, Bothwell was elected as assistant general secretary of the union, by now renamed as the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA). He became general secretary in 1963, and was also elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, and in 1965 to the general council of the International Transport Workers' Federation. He retired from his trade union posts in 1968, due to poor health.^[1]^[2] However, he remained active as a member of the Industrial Arbitration Board, for which work he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
