Award winner from bureau limited charges recently (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laureate

'award winner' is the definition.
(I know that laureate is a type of award winner)

'bureau limited charges recently' is the wordplay.
'limited' indicates the central letters (the limits of the word are removed).
'charges' is an insertion indicator (charge can mean to charge into something).
'recently' becomes 'late' (I've seen this in another clue).
The central letters of 'bureau' are 'urea'.
'urea' placed into 'late' is 'LAUREATE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for laureate that I've seen before include "Acclaimed pacifist" , "This Poet is official in England" , "Royal poet" , "One honoured for great achievements" , "Honoured by a distinction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
