Our Master-elect, Sir Peter Estlin, is also a Member of the Ironmongers’ Company and so it is entirely natural that he should choose their lovely Hall for his Installation Dinner next month.

Ironmongers’ is reached via a short causeway off Shaftesbury Place, on Aldersgate Street, EC2Y 8AA, which is in the south-west corner of the Barbican complex, hard by the Museum of London.

The Hall is generously sized and well-known for its beautiful panelling, stained glass windows and excellent catering. So all-in-all, it represents an excellent and welcoming choice, as well as an event which will greatly impress any Members’ guests.

Our Principal Speaker will be Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia, FCA, previous CEO of Virgin Media and Chair of Women in Finance, and now Chair of Snoop. Jayne-Anne will share some thoughts on the Master-Elect’s theme for his year: “Fit for the Future”.

So come and join your fellow Members and guests in saying farewell to our outgoing Master Gordon, who has shown great leadership during his year, and in welcoming our new Master Estlin. Peter will also be telling us more about the Hall and its history, as well as sharing his exciting plans for 2021/22 with us. Places cost £109 and you can book on the website, or if you can’t do that, then email or ring me.
