Company to keep any increase in
its finances to a minimum.
I am sure that once we have
settled in to our new home and
with our new landlords, it is
the hope of all, not just those
involved in our relocation, that
Wax Chandlers’ will become a
long-term home, much like the
Insurance Hall has been.
It would be remiss of me not to
mention our Committees, and that
they would always welcome “new
blood”. So if you feel that you
have a skill that you feel would be
of use to the various Committees,
please contact the Chairman, I
am sure that they would be only
to glad too hear from you.
It is a great way to become
involved in the workings of the
Company, getting to know your
fellow Firefighters, and breathe
new life and ideas into the
Committees.
In closing, I have already thanked
the outgoing Master and Mistress,
and I would now like to take the
opportunity of wishing The Master
Designate, Andrew Mayes and
his lovely Wife Carol, all the
best for their year as Master and
Mistress Firefighter and promise I
will do my best to assist and help
them during their tenure.
Finally, and as I always reiterate
at the end of my report, it has
been an HONOUR to be your
Clerk, and to be of SERVICE to
you all. Your FRIENDSHIP, has
as always, been appreciated and
I am sure that the HARMONY
with in the Company will continue
for years to come.
Members all, here is to the
continuedhealthofTheWorshipful
Company of Firefighters, may
it flourish Root and Branch –
Forever.
Thank you.

Bill was a fairly new member to
the Company and joined in March
2017 and took his Freedom in
September of that year and his
Freedom of the City in November.
I met him briefly, and he was
very knowledable in books and
printing requirements and was
invited to join the PR & Marketing
Committee.
Bill came to us via his links with
the Western Front Association for
whom he was currently serving as
Chairman of their Essex Branch.
Bill was much respected and will
be sadly missed by us all.
