THE CLERK AND THE BEADLE OF YOUR LIVERY

​COMPANY - BUILD RELATIONSHIPS NOW!

Every Clerk (across the 110 Livery Companies) will have their own style and approach when it comes to supporting you as Consort.  You (and perhaps together with the future Master) will want to discover what level of assistance the Clerk can give you in your year. 

Definitely discuss this topic with the Master as it is usual for the Clerk to be working very closely with the Master and will want the Master’s year in office to be a great success. 

​It is important to have a good relationship with the Clerk as there have been times when invitations to the Consort have gone astray (or never forwarded) as the Clerk is swamped with other matters.  Finding ways to work with the Clerk, whilst honouring his or her primary role and other responsibilities, is possible. 
 
Many Livery Companies have a very active Beadle who may be a very important and helpful person to you.  A number of Beadles run the hall, for example.  Again, find out how your Livery Company works and discover from your future Master what is possible.
