Master & Wardens 2026-27

Our Master and Wardens are the core of the Company, overseeing all committees and decisions taken through their year of governance. The Wardens support the Master in effecting a strategy that will drive the Company toward achieving ambitious goals.

This year, we welcome Sir William Worsley as Master Merchant Taylor. He will be supported in his year of governance by four Wardens, who will help guide him to achieve his aims.
