BUDGET BANQUET 2024
The Company held its annual Budget Banquet on Tuesday 12th March in the wonderful Glaziers’ Hall.
After a drinks reception overlooking the Thames, some 150 members and their guests enjoyed a lavish dinner in the striking banquet hall. The Company was delighted to welcome, as its guests, the Masters of other Financial Services Group (FSG) companies as well as senior representatives of the CIOT and ATT.
After dinner, Paul Johnson CBE (Director of the Institute of Fiscal Studies and our principal guest) provided an insightful commentary on the Spring budget, and what may (or may not) come of it.
Diners were also entertained by musicians from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, whose varied programme and wonderful musicality further added to the occasion.
Some fourteen new Freemen and Liverymen took wine with the Master, half of whom had been admitted at Court that afternoon, marking further progress along the the Company’s continuing path of growth and development.
