Results of the Election Court 2023

At the Election Court, held at Guildhall on Thursday 29th June 2023, the following were elected to serve as Officers of the Company of Entrepreneurs from 14th November 2023:
 
As Master : Mark Norman Huxley
As Senior Warden : Alastair John Naisbitt King DL
As Middle Warden : James John Sherrington Talbot
As Junior Warden : Jatinder Singh Wasu
 
The Master, Mr Gary Dixon, earnestly congratulated the Master and Wardens Elect, and looked ahead with anticipation to the continued good stewardship of the Company of Entrepreneurs.
 
NOTES: The Election Court is one of Company’s statutory meetings, at which the Court elects those members of the Court who will serve as Master and Wardens from the following November. Although it is customary that each of the serving Wardens is promoted to the next most senior office, any full member of the Court may be elected as Junior Warden. A Nominations Committee (the five most recent Past Masters) sits two weeks before Court to review candidates for the role of Junior Warden, and it makes a recommendation to the Court as to who to elect.
 
The Court consists of the Master, three Wardens, the five most recent Past Masters, and between six and twenty Freemen Entrepreneurs who sit as Assistants. Assistants are elected to serve for a term of five years each. The Treasurer is a voting member of Court, and is appointed for a two-year term.
 
A formal announcement of those elected is made at the Election Court Banquet, which takes place later in the Summer.
