The Company were delighted to have the Annual Livery Banquet take place in Mansion House on Friday 28 March 2025. After a champagne reception in the SaIon, where a continuous slideshow of the Lord Mayor's Show was available to view on a large screen, along with the beautifully-crafted metal chest containing two gold coins, dies and a key (the Company's gift to the our Lord Mayor), the 223 assembled guests moved into the magnificent surroundings of the Egyptian Hall. Once seated, we were superbly entertained by music and song, and continued the City and Company traditions of toasts, the Loving Cup and witty and entertaining speeches.

This historic occasion was unique - the first ever banquet in the Company's history with a Mother Company Blacksmith as The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor: Alderman Alastair King DL.
