Leadership

The governing body of the Company is the Court, which comprises the Master (who presides), the Senior and Junior Wardens, the Almoner, the Senior Past Master, recent Past Masters and a number of other Court Assistants (usually including the President, Deputy President and Vice-President of the Institute, if they are Liverymen of the Company).

Each Officer normally serves one year in their office, the Junior Warden usually proceeding to Senior Warden, when the Senior Warden is customarily installed as Master.

Court Assistants

Court Assistants are initially appointed for a five-year term and can serve a second term, or for five years after being Master.

The Clerk & Deputy Clerk

The Clerk and the Deputy Clerk are responsible for the Company’s administration.

The Court

The Court meets quarterly takes all decisions affecting the Company, such as its activities, finances, membership, participation in the affairs of the City and support for the Lord Mayor and Corporation.

The Charitable Trust

The Charitable Trust, which is independent of the Company, is controlled by Trustees appointed from the membership, chaired by the Almoner. The Trustees appoint the Clerk to the Charity, who is currently the Deputy Clerk.
