The Treasures of the Worshipful Company of Marketors
The Marketors was founded as a Guild in 1975 and we were granted our Letters Patent as a Livery company on 13th December 1977. Since its beginnings, the Company has collected treasures, such as badges of office, loving cups, silverware and ceremonial paraphernalia.These items are used at ceremonial events throughout the year. They have mostly been donated by current or past members and are a symbol of the pride felt towards the Company and the marketing profession.
The treasures tell the story of the development of the Company and give a fascinating insight into the men and women who have helped shape it.

The Marketors' Anthem
Past Master Richard Christou's Consort, Tasoulla Christou, composed an Anthem (Psalm 150: Praise ye the Lord), for choir, organ and solo trumpet, as a gift to the Worshipful Company of Marketors for performance at the Company’s Rededication Service on 15th April 2018. The performance was a World Premiere, and although Tasoulla retains the copyright, the Anthem is available for both the Company and St Bride’s to perform in future whenever they wish.
