The Worshipful Company of Plumbers aims to support and make a difference within the ancient industry of plumbing. We assist and support charities and trainees, partner our industry through affiliations, and work closely with the Lord Mayor and the City of London.
The Master, Sandra Raine, her Consort Ian and Wardens are delighted to invite you to join them for our Annual Banquet in the glorious surroundings of the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, by kind permission and in the presence of The Right Honourable the Lady Mayor, Alderwoman Dame Susan Langley DBE.
It is with much sadness that we have to announce the death of Honorary Liveryman Martin Gratte. A great friend of the Plumbers, he passed away after a short illness on 5th February 2026. His funeral and celebration of his life will be held on 25th February 2026; please open this post to see all the arrangements.
I have much pleasure in attaching the brochure for my Master’s break. Also attached is the booking form. Ian and I invite you to join us for a small taste of what the northeast has to offer.
