The Furniture Makers’ Company welcomed six new liverymen and four corporate liverymen at its court meeting on 16th June.
The new members were formally admitted in a special ceremony at Furniture Makers’ Hall, London, presided over by livery company master, Jessica Alexander.
The six liverymen admitted were: Tristine Hargreaves, National Bed Federation (NBF); Julian Penrose-Smith, Penrose Restoration; Susan Mancini, Studio 1718; Alexander Muradian, Oyster Studio Furniture; Dannie Rusling, Rusling Furniture Makers; and David Walker.
The four corporate liverymen admitted were: Carrie Westwell MA MCIPD, Bensons for Beds; Jamie Donald, Bensons for Beds; Phil Breeze, Biesse; and Rosie Hitchcock, also from Biesse.
Individuals initially join the company as a freeman and then progress to become a liveryman, a full member of the organisation. The Furniture Makers’ Company also welcomes businesses to join as corporate members, with the option to appoint up to three employees as corporate liverymen.
