30. Lord Mayor’s Briefing for Masters and Clerks, November 24, 2021
Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor Vincent Keaveny
Each year, the new Lord Mayor holds a briefing to thank the Livery Companies of the City of London for their support, and to discuss how he intends to work with them to deliver Mayoral themes and a Better City for All by supporting charity partners and continuing thought leadership initiatives with – Power of Inclusion, This is Me, She Can Be and City Giving Day.
The gathering of Masters, Prime Wardens, Upper Bailiff and Clerks at Mansion House also received briefings from Sir Charles Bowman, PwC, Alderman of the Lime Street Ward and a Past Lord Mayor. Sir Charles is Chairman of the Pan-Livery Steering Group whose objectives include closer working, better communications and improving the culture of pan-livery engagement. The next steps include improving communications about the Livery as a whole and communications within the Livery. This catalytic impact should be complete within about three years when new and stronger inter-Livery structures will be in place.
The newly elected Livery Committee Chairman, Philip Woodhouse, spoke about his Committee’s task – as a connecting forum for communication between the livery and the officers at Guildhall and Mansion House. He is a Past Master Grocer, and Julia Sibley MBE, Past Master Innholder, was elected Deputy Chairman for the ensuing year.
