Christmas Greetings 2025
The Master, Nicole Brocklebank-Fowler, shares a Christmas message with the Company
At this very special time of year I would like to send very warm Christmas wishes to all members of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers family.
Christmas gives us a moment to reflect on the strength of our Company, our traditions, our fellowship and the shared pride we take in all that we represent.
As we look ahead to 2026 I encourage you to support our Livery events, to take part and to become actively involved in the life of the Company. It is through your engagement that we continue to thrive and pass our values on to future generations.
May your Christmas be joyful and peaceful and may the New Year bring good health, happiness and every success.
A very Merry Christmas to you all.
