London Livery in Action

'The Worshipful company of Management Consultants lead by the current Master Mr David Johnson recently enjoyed a special celebration, at the historic Skinner's Hall, in the city of London, to help not for profit enterprises.

Thanks to The Worshipful Company of Management Consultants (WCOMC) Pro-Bono Committee achievements were celebrated particularly for the following charities;  The Brain Tumour Society, Rights Watch UK and The Fore.Also present were representatives of a large number of other charities being helped by WCoMC.

WCOMC consultants freely offer mentoring and consultancy support to charities that are not able to pay normal consultants fees.

At the event the CEO’s of two UK charities shared personal experiences about collaboration with the WCOMC and one spoke about how mentoring had helped to improve social outcomes, and the day-to-day running, of their organisation.

The equivalent of £1m of pro bono support is provided by the WCOMC annually.

The specialist Pro-bono support is all given by the WCOMC Liveryman and members of the Worshipful Company.

The Charities Supper is the first of a colourful events programme delivered by the WCOMC every year that also includes; education, professional development, and fund-raising.

For further information about the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants please visit our website: http://wcomc.org or follow the hashtag #WCOMC.

WCOMC Events and social media campaigns are planned for 2018 so W1PR will keep you posted on the amazing Pro-Bono work and achievements on social media & regular news for 2018.

Worshipful Company of Management Consultants Christmas Message

WCoMC is a collegiate forward looking Modern City Livery Company; we maintain City traditions, share expertise and information between fellow members and give back to the community through our pro bono activities. WCoMC News ​ Our latest City updates   Master and Mistress  -  David and Mary Johnson New Freemen Graeme Lythe Caroline Spicer Ian White New Liveryman Jim Foster Speaker: Ian Beesley, Liveryman. After 22 years in the Civil Service prior to being a Partner in Price Waterhouse for 16 years, he is the Official Historian of the Cabinet Secretaries and author of "The Official History of the Cabinet Office".

Management Consultants and Sea Cadets supporting each other The new Lord Mayor alights from his golden carriage for lunch - opposite the George pub, where the Management Consultants are having theirs....!     Newsletter Editor: elizabeth.consalvi@consultant.com Website Support: webadmin@wcomc.org Issue 45:  November 2017 Master's Message:  Sea Cadets – our (disarming) military force...  My first representative task as Master, three days after my Installation, was to attend the Sea Cadets’ Trafalgar Day Parade – in Trafalgar Square. A chilly but occasionally sunny Sunday Morning set in the shadow of Nelsons Column. There is another shadow - that  of imperialism and triumphalism. On such an occasion celebrating victory over the French 212 years ago may be considered inappropriate by some today - but the training and development of young people as they demonstrated with such discipline and enthusiasm overshadows such ‘modern’ considerations. It was really good to see the transformation in life chances of young people that is being achieved. In August I represented our previous Master at the Sea Cadets national band competition held  at the Tower of London (where I met the deputy Governor, which could be helpful should I be incarcerated in the coming year). In December I hope to present the Satjit Cup (donated by our current Treasurer) which is awarded to their top Cadet annually. Every Livery Company is expected to support one or more element of our defence forces – doubtless originating in the days when the Livery supported the City militia and the expeditions of various Kings & Queens - and our early decision to support the Sea Cadets was inspired. Past Master Broomhead is to be thanked for the part he played in arranging this, and for acting as our liaison with them ever since. Over the years we have made relatively small financial contributions to them to encourage  achievement and provide training equipment, and to support the Sea Cadets' entry into the Lord Mayor's Show. In return we are kept involved with a vibrant group of young people, who sailed T.S Royalist to victory in the Tall Ships race and stand with discipline as our carpet guard at many a formal function. They also make our presence in the Lord Mayor's Show possible. This has been (after the Installation Dinner) the highlight of my year to date. Some may question the importance of our involvement in this event, but it is integral to the civic City and an engagement that links every Livery Company with a common heritage over many centuries. This year we exceptionally had 31 seconds of BBC TV coverage! Really an opportunity no Liveryman should miss.  [See article "Breakfast at Barbican" for the YouTube link!] Our new Lord Mayor is supporting the Centenary of the RAF in his year, and has set a challenge to increase the attachments of Livery Companies with RAF companies from the present 55 to 100 (the Century) -  and it is something we will doubtless discuss as a Company; but we must cherish our association with the London Region Sea Cadets. Long may it continue.  David Johnson, Master                            Have the Company's objectives - as recorded in the 1992 minutes - been realised...?  Sir George Cox, co-founder and Past Master in 1996-97, explores.... Tom Peters is back and he's angry...!  As best selling business author, he stands before the first symposium of WCoMC's Centre for Management Consulting Excellence... But since "In Search of Excellence" 35 years ago - does he have anything new to say? Dr Simon Davey, Freeman, evaluates.   AND ALSO provides a video of Father of the Livery, Calvert Markham, chatting to Peters over lunch... "Then it began.  The cheering.  The waving.  The noise.  The fun.  Hundreds and hundreds of people of all ages and nationalities lining the route ahead for the next 3 hours..."  Freeman Collette Stone turns out with the Management Consultants to honour Charles Bowman, 690th Lord Mayor...
