Installation Speech of New Master, Stephen Sidebottom

I would like to start by thanking the Master and Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Grocers for hosting tonight’s event in this beautiful hall. I would also like to thank the Gallant Clerk Karen, Peter, and Debs and Mary in the clerking team for all the amazing work they do and for making this evening happen.

Installation Speech of New Master, John F Renz

Can I begin by thanking the Master and Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Butchers for hosting tonight’s event in this beautiful hall.

One upside of the current tight labour market is surely that we have begun to realise just how important some roles are and hopefully affording those in the hospitality industry, as well as others, a greater level of appreciation and respect. Tonight, I am sure you will agree they have it in buckets.
