The Worshipful Company of
Firefighters Awards
City Dinner
Lord Mayor’s show
The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Awards,
made in conjunction with CFOA, were awarded
to UK-ISAR teams that responded to the
emergency in Japan and to the emergency in
Christchurch New Zealand.
CFO Roy Wilsher accepted the award on behalf
of the team he led to Japan and Station Manager
Mark Coleman accepted the award on behalf of
the New Zealand team.
The awards recognised the courage, initiative and
professionalism that such teams put to
humanitarian actions on behalf of the world-wide
community, their presence being so important
for the morale of local residents and fire fighters
suffering devastation.
The Worshipful Company of Firefighters held a
City Dinner hosted by Sir Ken Knight CBE QFSM
DL, head of UK Fire and Rescue policy within the
Government. The dinner was sponsored by the
insurance Group Caitlin and was in support of
the Charitable Trust Fund of the Company of
Firefighters.
The dinner was well attended and very much
enjoyed by those attending who learned more
about the background of policy-making within
the Fire and Rescue arena.
The Master and the Worshipful Company of
Firefighters led the modern companies parade at
the Lord Mayor’s show. Master Peter Cowland
was most prominent in the parade riding his
beloved Harley.
The Master and Wardens
wish all Members of the
Worshipful Company of
Firefighters and their friends
a very merry Christmas and
a happy New Year
