You are invited to a Pub Takeover! On Monday 5 February, the Financial Services Group of Livery Companies are holding a social evening at the historic ‘Hand & Shears’ public house at 1 Middle St, Barbican, London EC1A 7JA situated 100m from the Barbican exit of the Elizabeth Line Farringdon Station. This event is open to any member from the Companies below and is entirely open in format. The pub will be exclusively ours for the night from 6pm till 11pm. The idea of the event is that members from across the broad financial services sector will be able to meet and mingle with no agenda apart from serendipity and no cost apart from what you spend over the bar. And what better thing to do on a likely cold bleak night in the City (and possibly to break your ‘dry January’) but to meet up in one of the City’s oldest pubs with like-minded people? Pop in for an hour or two, or stay for the evening, however please do note that the pub does not provide food, so do plan to eat before or after. There is no need to register but, as a courtesy, and to ensure the pub has the right staffing levels, can you please let Clare Ferrar clareferrar@accountantslivery.org know if you are intending to come along by the previous Friday 2 February. We look forward to seeing you there! The Financial Services Group of Livery Companies or FSG is made up of the following Liveries and Guilds: Accountants; Actuaries; Arbitrators; Chartered Secretaries; Entrepreneurs; Information Technologists; Insurers; International Bankers; Investment Managers; Management Consultants; Marketors; Solicitors; Tax Advisors; World Traders
