    Throughout its 654-year history, the Worshipful Company of Plumbers has valued the role of apprenticeships. The Apprentice's Statue in London's Cannon Street Station is a public demonstration of the part which apprentices play in the plumbing industry.  Now in its third year, the presentation of bursaries at the Statue has been arranged on Wednesday 27 March 2019. There are six bursary prizes to be presented by the Master to people who are currently undergoing training to become qualified to work in the industry. The bursaries (which have been provided by the Company's Education and Charitable Trust with generous support from City and Guilds of London Institute and Monument Tools) will enable the recipients to purchase plumbing tools through Monument Tools.  After the presentation ceremony beside the Apprentice Statue, lunch has been arranged in The Vintry, very close to Cannon Street Station.

    Remembered by our Royal Honorary Member

    Past a Master Brian Wadsworth reports “The Company may like to know that the Duchess of Cornwall opened a new building for the Medical Detection Dogs charity today, attended by Anne and myself – and many others of course.  She was kind enough to say to me that the lead planter presented to her by the Company for her home is looking splendid, full of flowers.”

    The Company has supported the training of  a detection dog named Plum who is now two years old.

  • Pan Livery Survey

    Pan Livery Survey

    The results have now been published and are available in the members only section.(Log in then look under From the Master & Clerk).  This 2018 internal research by the City Livery Committee was to understand more about the livery. We’re a diverse group of companies. We share many characteristics, beliefs and aims. But our provenance, composition and day-to-day activities can be quite different.

    These results will be considered as part of the strategic planning for our own Company.

  • The Plumber’s Table

    The Plumber’s Table

    39 Liverymen and guests joined the Master  on our ninth visit, on 11th February, to the Ironmongers` Hall for lunch at the Plumbers` Table .  As in past years the roast beef proved a great success and the selection of cheeses proved as plentiful as ever.  To add to the event  the  Master gave a speech, which she admitted was impromptu, but nobody would have ever have known.  As is our custom the wine allotted to us went down with no difficulty and the last of the guests departed at about 4pm. Finally a big thank you to the team at Ironmongers` Hall who always look after us so well and make us  most welcome.

    Look out for the next Plumber's Table lunch.
