Last year, the City Corporation agreed to mark 100 years of female suffrage with the award of the Freedom by inviting members of the Court of Common Council and colleagues in their City of London Wards to nominate candidates.
More than 100 women will receive the Freedom of the City of London to commemorate the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918.
We were delighted to nominate three amazing women who work in the Ward of Cheap: Sabine Chalmers, BT; Petronella West, Investment Quorum, and Speranta Knowles, ICBC Standard Bank.
On International Women’s Day Alastair and Tijs had honour to join Cheapside Business Alliance to start the day at a breakfast in Guildhall with inspiring speakers such as the Bishop of London,Sarah Mullally.
In the evening Robert and Tijs joined City London colleague and severl of the 100 women who were nominated for the Freedom at a buzzing reception in the Guildhall Art Gallery.
