The Archbishop of Canterbury joins the Worshipful Company of International Bankers at its annual banquet.

The Worshipful Company of International Bankers held its annual banquet on Wednesday evening at the Guildhall, which was attended by senior figures from the financial services industry, as well as from the regulatory, central banking and academic communities.

Members of the Company were delighted that Most Revd and Rt. Hon Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, was able to join them.

Alderman Alan Yarrow, Lord Mayor of the City of London noted that “creating wealth, giving time and supporting people” – his mayoral theme – accorded well with the objectives and achievements of the Worshipful Company of International Bankers and its Lord George Principles for Good Business Conduct.

In welcoming the guests Mark Seligman, the Master of the Company, emphasised the international nature of the Company and the commitment of all its members to the Lord George Principles which underpin their approach to business life.
