The Lightmongers Court meeting held 11th February 2026 had a very full agenda as always, with a key highlight being the installation of new Freemen and recognising the progression of Freemen to full membership of the Company as Liverymen. The Master, Graham Smith, and the Court members were delighted therefore to admit two new Freemen into the Company:
- Robert Kelley, Founder of Continuity Partnership and
- Stephen Martin, Director of Business and Industry – RGE Services

L-R Stephen Martin, Master Graham Smith and Robert Kelley.
and to clothe Charles Cashman, a retired US Navy Engineer, in the Company Livery, as he progressed to full membership as a Liveryman.
