Brian Blanchard has been installed as the new Master of livery company, the Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants. The installation ceremony took place at Mansion House, home to The Lord Mayor of London and honorary member of WCoBM Alderman Dr Andrew Parmley, whose one-year term as Lord Mayor ended in November. On the same evening Wardens Pippa Latham and Stewart Pierce were elected to support the Master in his year. Liveryman Simon Lawson was invited to join the Court as a new Assistant.
