Royal Charter Award for Excellence in Construction
This year we are looking to Crossrail 1 as our project of choice. It has been described in the media as
the £50bn railway and the first main-line railway to be constructed underneath London for over a
century. The award will be made at next year’s Livery and Awards Dinner.

St Lawrence Jewry

Church whose vicar is Rev Canon David Parrott,
our Honorary Chaplain, now has a new Altar
Frontal and Pulpit fall, which were dedicated
on 25 October 2016 in the presence of Ven.
Luke Miller, Archdeacon of London. As
members of a City Livery Company we all
recognise the importance of the Church to our
Company, which is why we install each new
Master in St Lawrence Jewry, and also hold our
Annual Carol Service there.
This article is based upon the Order of Service
and Commemorative Booklet that was
produced for the Celebration Service.

her thanks to the many people who helped her ensure that the project came to fruition - from family
who have fetched and carried, kept her fed and watered, to the individuals in companies who have
gone that extra mile. She also thanks all those who gave so generously, thereby allowing her to use
