Alderman Vincent Keaveny CBE, 693rd Lord Mayor of London (2021-22)
Celebrating the 8th Reflections of The Lord Mayor, 2023.About
At the 8th Reflections of The Lord Mayor Gala Evening, our Reflections speaker was Alderman Vincent Keaveny CBE, the 693rd Lord Mayor of London. We were privileged to hear from the first Irish Lord Mayor of London – and a member of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers – in the august surroundings of Stationers’ Hall.
Alderman Keaveny reflected on some of the key missions and ambitions of his Mayoralty. His theme for his Reflections – ‘Innovation and Tradition in a Year of Change’ – included insights from a year that encompassed two monarchs and three prime ministers.
During his time in office, our former Lord Mayor focused on areas such as improving social mobility in the financial services sector by helping to bring in and then promote people from diverse and less privileged backgrounds. He also targeted what he termed “the COP26 legacy work” and the part the City of London must now play in fighting climate change.
A transcript of Alderman Keaveny's reflections speech is available to read and video clips from that Reflections evening can be viewed below.
