Here's a curious one: a sitting Lord Mayor of London can never be called "Sir" or "Dame." That wasn't always the case; between the 16th and 19th centuries, most Lord Mayors were knighted the moment they took office, occasionally rising to baronet by the end of their year.

That changed in 1993, when the tradition shifted so the honour is now given on retirement rather than appointment, a nod to the principle that in the Square Mile, service comes before status. The current Lord Mayor, Dame Susan Langley, the City's 697th, wasn't titled until after her term had already begun.

A new Mentor Programme is now open to WCEC members, run in partnership with BICSc and designed to pair mentors with people building a career in cleaning. Two mentees are already halfway through the six-week programme, one moving from lettings into launching her own cleaning business, the other transitioning from hospitality into a more solid career path.

Interested in taking part, whether that's offering guidance or receiving it? Sign up as a mentor or mentee today.

By popular demand, we're bringing Hall & Clays back for round two. Our first evening combining livery tradition with digital clay pigeon shooting went down brilliantly, so we're repeating the formula on 1st October, same timings, same set-up, same good fun.

20 places are open to prospective members, with a further 10 places for existing members, generously funded by the Company.

Fancy a curry with the Senior Warden? Phil Smith is hosting an informal evening for all newer Freemen at The India, Barbican, from 6pm on Tuesday 27th October. There's no agenda and no speeches, just good company, a chance to ask questions, and to learn more about the path from Freeman to Liveryman.

£50 per ticket, including a three-course meal and a drink of your choice. Book via the events page at https://members.wc-ec.com/

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, is calling on cyclists to join the Ride to Monte Cassino, a fully supported, three-day challenge running from 1st to 5th October 2026.

Covering 240 miles along the route of the Italian Campaign, riders will pass through stunning countryside with military historians on hand, before finishing at Monte Cassino Abbey, one of the Second World War's most significant battle sites.

Given the Company's strong military ties, this feels like a natural one for members to take on!
