The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

A small, but enthusiastic, group of six met for lunch at The Knight of Nottinghill pub on Ladbroke Grove on a sunny Thursday in September, prior to walking no more than one minute round the corner to the Museum of Brands, a collection devoted to consumer history.  The museum is crammed with packaging and other items […]

Members of the Company took part in the City Giving Day quiz last night suporting the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. There were 5 teams in the room – we were running a close second at the half way point but lost ground in the second half and scored a duck in the sports round. We finished […]

In September, Livery Companies that support the Livery Food Initiative were invited to the Old Bailey.

On Friday 23rd August, the Master, Consort and members of the Company visited London’s Air Ambulance centre at the Royal London Hospital (the view from the helipad was amazing).

A full entry of 32 teams from across the City Livery entered […]

A group of Tax Advisers recently joined the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress’ Bavarian Ball at Mansion House.  We enjoyed a wonderful, Bavarian inspired evening of dining and entertainment.  The evening raised over £55,000 for the following charities: MQ Mental Health Research Homewards – a Royal Foundation programme, and National Numeracy.   Photo credit: PaulinaRootsPhotography.

The Worshipful Company of Glovers hosted a number of liverymen, freemen and their guests for a delightful day of golf croquet at the immaculate Sussex County Croquet Club in Brighton on Saturday 15th June 2024.
