THE WINDOW COMPANY (CONTRACTS) CHAIR IS HONOURED WITH FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF LONDON

David Thornton, Chair of the specialist commercial installer The Window Company (Contracts) has been admitted to the Worshipful Company of Glaziers, one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London.

The Worshipful Company of Glaziers is concerned with architectural as well as stained and painted glass, and David is keen to give his backing to the company’s ongoing efforts in glass education and conservation, supporting architects and artists working in glass design.

David said: “I’m honoured to have joined the Worshipful Company – it’s a collection of individuals who really care about promoting excellence in glass, which chimes perfectly with what we do at The Window Company (Contracts).”

There are still more than one hundred Livery Companies in London, many like the Worshipful Company of Glaziers dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. They have a largely ceremonial role today, but are still very active in education – particularly in their support of the City and Guilds scheme which they founded in the 1870s.

As a result of becoming a Liveryman, David Thornton has also become a Freeman of the City of London – acquiring the right to drive sheep and cattle over London Bridge and carry a naked sword in public – neither of which he is planning to do any time soon!
