The Club’s affiliate, the Worshipful Company of Communicators, held its Annual Military Awards Dinner on 27 September, with Major General Paul Griffiths CB, Assistant Chief of the General Staff (ACGS), as the distinguished Military Guest of Honour.
During the evening, the Club’s National Chair, Colonel Rosie Stone, was formally enrobed as a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Communicators—a significant milestone marking her ongoing commitment to excellence in military and strategic communications.
Colonel Stone’s recognition was especially notable as she joins the Company as a Founding Liveryman, having been among the original financial supporters whose contributions helped the Company achieve its Worshipful status.
Also honoured during the ceremony were fellow Club members Major (Ret’d) Andrew Fox and Major General Neil Sexton, who were likewise admitted as Liverymen of the Company.
