On Wednesday 9 June 2010, the Installation Court took place at Drapers' Hall.  Having been Elected at the March Court, the following were Installed: 

The Master:  Mr Don W Randall MBE; Senior Warden:  Mr Nigel Churton MBE; Middle Warden:  Mr Gerald Moor; Junior Warden:  Mrs Fay Merrick.

Two new Court Assistants were also elected to the Court:  Mr Stuart Seymour and Mr Barrie Stewart.

Family members and friends of the Master and Wardens were invited to witness the Installation ceremonies at the end of the Court meeting, a new practice about which visiting Masters to the Luncheon showed great interest. 

Following the Installation Ceremonies, 21 Freemen were Admitted to the Livery; six Liverymen were Clothed in the Livery; and two Honorary Liverymen were Clothed in the Livery.

Freedom:  Chris Brogan, Ephrem Clarke, Richard Davidson, Malcolm Davies, Jeremy Dawes, Narinder Dio, David Double, Grahame Harding, Stefan Hay, Jason Hurd, Allan Malcolm, Michael Messinger, Michael Mulvaney, Richard Parnell, Daxa Patel, Kevin Ripo, Christopher Sanderson, Gary Simpson, Michael Tennent, Anthony Waters and Michael Webb

Honorary Livery:  Sir Neil Macfarlane and John Maddock

A Reception then followed and the Beadle announced the guests who were then welcomed by The Master, the Mistress, the IPM and his Lady and the Senior Warden.  All then repaired to the magnificent Livery Hall where the Company Silver was displayed to great effect in this historic room.  Grace was said by The Honorary Chaplain, The Revd Roger Hall MBE QHC CF, followed by a delicious meal of Smoked Haddock Mousse with oatcakes, Canon of Lamb with a mustard and herb crust and Summer Pudding with clotted cream.

The Master called upon the new Freemen to be welcomed in time-honoured fashion by all present.  This new practice drew favourable comment from visiting Masters.  The Winner of The WCoSP Annual Award for the Best Criminology Project at the University of East London's School of Law, Ms Melike Encini, was congratulated.

The Master then presented The Ben Flenley Memorial Bowl to the Winner of The RAF Regiment NCO Leadership Award, Corporal Christopher Smyth.  The Beadle read out the Citation (which is attached to the website) and Corporal Smyth was then presented with an Award and framed Citation to take home.

The IPM, Mr Stephen Parsons, presented two cheques for the money he had raised for The Master's Charity in his Year:  one for The Worshipful Company of Security Professionals Charitable Trust and one for Child Victims of Crime.  Child Victims of Crime is to benefit from The Master's Charity this year.

The IPM's Lady, Mrs Penny Parsons, presented the Mistress's Brooch to the Mistress, who in return presented a delightful bouquet of flowers.

The Master then thanked the sponsor of the event, Knightsbridge Consulting Ltd, and announced his plans for the coming year. 

The Senior Warden gave the Toast to the Guests, following which our honoured Principal Guest, Baroness Henig, responded, speaking lyrically about the current world of security before making the Toast to the Company.

The Clerk would like to urge all those Members who are not yet Freemen to apply to be Admitted to the Livery and all those who have been Freemen for two years and who have been Admitted as Freemen of the City of London to apply to be Clothed in the Livery at Common Hall on 18 November.  NB:  Any member of the Company may apply to be Admitted as a Freeman of the City of London, details for which may be obtained from the Clerk.
