The Charter Dinner celebrates the granting of the Company's Royal Charter by Queen Mary Tudor on 4 May 1557. Official Company guests were invited to dinner, that included the Chief Executives of our Corporate Members, Chairmen of affiliated Trade Associations, with their Chief Executives and senior executives from our main supplies.
This glittering occasion was a sellout with 196 Liverymen and guests in attendance. Our most grateful thanks to Liveryman Lord Sedwill of Sherborne (Mark) who was our guest speaker.
