Installation Dinner

Fishmongers' Hall London Bridge, London

This October, the Master-elect is inviting members to the magnificent Fishmongers' Hall, by London Bridge to mark the start of his year. The Hall is famous for its fantastic architecture, splendid views across the Thames and the iconic portrait of Her Majesty by the then unknown Pietro Annigoni, which is now so valuable that it even has its own safe! Last, and by no means least, the Master's primary guest will be Noel Quinn, the CEO of HSBC, who is sure to say some interesting things about the global economy and possibly how his career took him from qualifying as a Chartered Accountant to becoming the CEO of one of the largest banks in the world.

The Livery Treasures Talk and Supper – CANCELLED

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Your chance to see the Livery Treasures up close!  Speaker – Michael Fowle assisted by our Beadle Simon Barraclough During our Company’s comparatively short life to date we have been fortunate in building up a significant collection of silver and other treasures, thanks to the generosity of many Past Masters, other Members and friends. Much of it is used at our Dinners. Michael will tell us about their history, what the motifs mean and their symbolic use. One of our earliest gifts is the Company’s Mace, the head of which is detached and placed before the Master at dinner. Michael is now entrusted with looking after our Treasures including amongst other things keeping an inventory, inspecting them regularly and valuing them for insurance purposes! This promises to be a fascinating talk and during the evening you will have the chance to hold some of the treasures under the watchful eye of our Beadle! Tickets: £75 to include a two-course meal with coffee, a glass of wine and soft drinks Location: Chartered Accountants Hall, One Moorgate Place Please book below or contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org

Installation Dinner 2023

Goldsmiths' Hall Foster Lane, London, United Kingdom

Our annual Livery Company year always starts during the month of October and this autumn, after a most successful year, during which we have been led with considerable style and panache by Master Richard Green, we will enter the mastership of current Master-Elect, Kevin Parry. For the first time in a decade, we have just secured Goldsmiths’ Hall for the next Installation Dinner. It has arguably the City’s finest hall and reception rooms. For dinner, that hall will be lit entirely by candlelight and we anticipate an exquisite collection of gold, gilt and jewellery will be on display in there and downstairs. Our speaker for the evening was due to be Lord Gerry Grimstone, the recent government minister and former Chairman of Barclays, amongst other roles. Sadly, Gerry has been taken ill and so instead, guests will hear from Lord Theodore Agnew. Theodore had a very distinguished business and governmental career, ending up as both a Cabinet Office and a Treasury Minister. His penchant for speaking his mind and actually getting things done, marked him out for business success at an early stage, but perhaps meant he was less likely to last for too long in the upper echelons of politics! Happily for the country, Theodore continues as a doughty campaigner in the House of Lords and much of what he says represents what existing Ministers think, but seldom feel quite able to say. In business, he has built and sold numerous companies, including a slightly unusual one in Australia, and is a past trustee of Policy Exchange, the Westminster think tank. At present, he has a financial interest in the artificial intelligence company, Faculty, Lastly, Theodore is the founder and chairman of a multi-academy trust, which runs fourteen schools in East Anglia. The Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths is...

Winter Dinner 2024

Stationers' Hall Ave Maria Ln, London, United Kingdom

This year's Winter Dinner will be held in the historic Stationers' Hall on Wednesday, 7th February. Stationers' Hall is a Grade I listed building, close to St Paul's Cathedral. It is one of the few ancient Livery Halls remaining in the City of London. Completed in 1673 after the Great Fire of London, the Hall's suite of magnificent, inter-linking rooms, as well as its secluded garden, makes it one of the most sought after venues in the City. After the meal, Members and their guests will hear from Geordie Greig, who, after a distinguished career in the press, including a tour as Editor of the Daily Mail, is now the Editor of The Independent. He will doubtless have plenty to say about the current state of the media and how he sees what is likely to an eventful next 12 months unfolding! Tickets: £149 Time: 6.30pm - Drinks, 7pm - Call for Dinner, 10.30pm - Carriages Dress: Black Tie or Livery Uniform with Badges and Decorations Please book below where possible If unable to book online, please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org or 07828 554967

Annual Banquet 2024

Mansion House Walbrook, London, United Kingdom

This year's Banquet will be held at Mansion House on Tuesday, 23rd July. The occasion is always the highpoint of our Livery's year, and this occasion will be no exception. As many Members will know, until the mid-18th century, Lord Mayors used their own houses or livery halls for their work as head of the City's governmental, judicial and civic functions. The idea of creating a permanent residence came after the Great Fire of 1666 to provide a house for Lord Mayors who did not have their own livery hall. The first stone was laid in 1739, and the first Lord Mayor to take up residence was Sir Crispin Gascoigne. The House was completed in 1758. Imposingly Palladian in style, it is faced by a grand temple portico at the front approached by flights of steps each side. The entertaining rooms were built on the first and second floors. The first floor had a roofless courtyard (later covered to form the Salon, the entertainment space) and the great Egyptian Hall. The second floor has a ballroom and private apartments of the Lord Mayor and family. After we have dined, Members and their guests will hear from The Chairman of the Bank of England, David Roberts. David's career began at Barclays, where he worked for over 20 years, rising to sit on the main board. He has also been Vice-Chair of NHS England, Chairman of Nationwide, and Deputy Chairman of Lloyds Banking Group. Currently however, his role as Chairman of our nation's central bank keeps him extremely busy and he will no doubt be keen to explain what the Bank of England is currently doing and why - rather brave, really, to a room full of chartered accountants!
