Membership Levels
Initially, people join a livery company as a Freeman (they are “admitted to the Freedom of the Company”).
Once you’ve been admitted as a Freeman, the Company will support your application for the Freedom of the City of London, a great ceremonial occasion which is also a prerequisite to applying to become a Liveryman.
Then, depending then your engagement in the Company and your support for its aims and activities, you will be encouraged to become a full Liveryman member (“clothed in the livery”).
Find out more
To help prospective members gain more insight into the Company and meet fellow marketers, including senior members of the livery, we hold open evenings. These are relaxed and informal evenings where we give you an insight into livery life over a glass of wine or two. We also explain our joining process and describe ways you can become involved.
