Freedom of the City of London
Congratulations to two Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators Freemen who obtained their Freedom of the City of London.
Janice Dean’s Ceremony took place on 3rd November and Mike Beckett’s on 7th November, in the Chamberlain’s Court at Guildhall. Both have been WCCSA Freemen since April 2022.
One of the oldest surviving traditional ceremonies still in existence today, the Freedom is believed to have been first presented in 1237 and remains as a unique part of London’s history to which many people who have lived or worked in the City have been proud to be admitted.
