WCoMC is Integral to the City of London

The livery companies of the City of London trace their origins back to the 12th century AD. Today they are closely integrated into the fabric and governance of this vibrant international hub.

Each year Liverymen elect the sheriffs of the City, endorse the election of the Lord Mayor and play a prominent part in major City and international events supporting trade, education, charity and fellowship.

Continued success and relevance of Livery companies is represented by their unique ability to adapt innovate and influence, which makes them invaluable partners for the City of London as it works to sustain and promote the City's position as the world leader in international finance and business services.
