Associated Organisations
Our military affiliation
We are proud to support our armed forces by being affiliated with 2nd Battalion The Rifles. Our historical ties with the forces date back to 1989 when the Bond of Association was made between the Company and The Royal Green Jackets, who in 2007 became a part of the new regiment – The Rifles.
Many livery companies have an affiliation with a unit of the armed forces, some with a Royal Navy ship or RAF squadron, and many with an army regiment.
