The Company of Communicators
We connect the strength, impact and fellowship of the communications profession with the history, dynamism and future of the City. We lead on using communication as a force for good in the City and beyond. We are unique as we connect the best and in the brightest in the communications profession across the UK with organisations and charities that need our skills and expertise on a pro bono basis, whilst advancing the aims of an ancient professional movement in the City. This is a great time to join the Company and to become a Freeman. Our vision is to be the livery company leading the Communications profession's charitable endeavour. Our purpose is to contribute to society through charitable giving and to promote the communication and public relations profession to the Livery movement and the City of London. We are building charitable funds through which the communication profession can give back to the communities it serves. We hold a variety of events throughout the year, from formal, black-tie dinners, to informal receptions, fundraisers, networking and quiz-night evenings. If you are not a member and would like to attend any of our events, please email clerk@companyofcommunicators.org. Currently, we are holding a range of virtual events - many open to non-members.
