It is an immense privilege to serve this year as the 694th Lord Mayor of London in an unbroken line from the first Lord Mayor, Henry Fitz Ailwyn, who assumed the mayoralty in 1189.
My year in office sees me travelling the world, working to deepen the links between the City of London and the other vibrant commercial centres that I visit. My international programme has already seen me visit the US, India, Switzerland, Australia and The Gulf.
On a number of these visits, I will have the pleasure of awarding a Mansion House Scholarship to an early career finance professional who has been nominated by the United Kingdom’s Embassy or High Commission in that country. Those awards will help Scholars to spend time studying at a British university or benefitting from an internship in London, the world’s financial capital. We also intend to continue the practice, initiated in 2019, of appointing further Scholars from within the United Kingdom itself.
I look forward to meeting Scholars and their supporters throughout the year as I work to enhance the relationship between the City of London and the wider world. I also hope to meet many past Mansion House Scholars in the countries that I visit.
I commend the work of Julian Tregoning and his team of trustees who have helped to make this initiative such a success. Your practical financial support for future generations of Mansion House Scholars would be most welcome.

It is an immense privilege to serve this year as Lady Mayor of the City of London.
I am proud to be Patron of the Mansion House Scholarship Scheme which supports young professionals from around the world at early stages in their careers. The awards help Scholars to study finance and related subjects at Master’s Degree level in a British university and to spend time working in London, the world’s financial capital. We also intend to continue the practice, initiated in 2019, of appointing Scholars from within the United Kingdom itself.
As an ambassador for UK financial and professional services, I look forward to meeting Scholars and their supporters throughout my year in office (2026-27) in the countries that I visit, as we work to deepen the links between the City of London and other vibrant commercial centres around the world.
I commend the work of Julian Tregoning and his team of trustees, the Secretary Nicholas Westgarth, and the Treasurer Michael Byrne, who have helped to make this initiative such a success. Please read on to find out more about this year’s Scholars and some of those who have already benefitted from the Scheme. Your practical support for future generations of Mansion House Scholars would be most welcome.
Thank you.
