Honoured to Receive the Freedom of the City of London with the Woolmen

I feel incredibly honoured to join the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, becoming part of a centuries-old tradition rooted in the wool trade. The Freedom of the City of London dates back to around 1237, originally offering people rights and protection under the City's charter, free from feudal control. Over time, it developed into a right to trade and became linked with the guilds or livery companies, like the Worshipful Company of Woolmen. Known since 1180 and formally established in 1522, the Woolmen began with wool winding and selling—a tradition they still honor by supporting wool production today.


This connection to wool holds special meaning for me, having grown up in Bradford, a historic center for wool mills and industry. This year’s Freedom ceremony, held at the prestigious Goldsmiths’ Hall, highlighted the unique privileges and rich governance history that the Freedom of the City embodies, especially for those with strong ties to the City since its expansion in 1835.
