Promoting Superior and the Copper Corridor in London

Last week I was honored to have represented our community in London. The trip was a whirl-wind adventure crammed into just a few short days. London is a beautiful city and if I could describe it quickly, it is like being in the capital of the world. New architecture stands next to buildings that are centuries old and many nationalities are represented there in the business world.
The trip itinerary was built around attending the Lord Mayor of London Mansion House event with the Worshipful Company of Gardeners. These trade groups, or what is referred to as Livery Companies, are similar to our trade associations. This event was seeped in British traditions and required full formal wear, along with many unique ceremonies such a sharing of the “Loving Cup” which is a formal toasting tradition. The event was hosted in the Lord Mayor’s Mansion house and the only time the public is allowed to enter the building is if you are invited to attend one of these events.
