The Management Consultants’ Company held their Inaugural Livery Dinner on 13 April at the Armourers’ Hall. Before dining, Alderman Dr Andrew Parmley was installed as a Liveryman. In an exciting ceremony, Andrew was paraded in front of the Consultants’ hierarchy to make his Livery undertakings before being congratulated by the Master. We then progressed to a most interesting dinner which was centred on wines (and a beer) garnished from the Company wine committee’s travels around Europe.
But it was more purposeful. The impact on the City’s trade and Livery under Eleanor of Aquitaine was described, and particularly her encouragement to wine drinking. Wine trade links were established between Plantagenet countries and London. The First Warden welcomed the guests and Andrew Parmley responded, toasting the Company and its Master. Many thanks to the Master for his invitation to dine and to enjoy a great historical event, suitably accompanied by wines of the region.
