“Fingers crossed for you!! Keep moving the needle in terms of diversity and Inclusion across the City of London.”

Andrew Beale, Court Assistant, Bakers
“With your background in bringing women forward into positions of responsibility within the City, you deserve to be given the chance.
We all know that the world of the livery companies remains far too dominated by patriarchal ideas, when, if it is to be at all relevant to the 21st century, this has to change, and the sooner the better.”

Richard Hills, Pewterers
“Although I have only known you for a short while I can see you have the dynamic qualities to make an excellent Sheriff.”

Dr Sarah Cockbill, PM Livery Company of Wales

Dr Carole Easton OBE, CEO Young Women’s Trust
“I have had the privilege of seeing first hand the energy and commitment that you bring to forging constructive and creative relationships between people resulting in important outcomes which would not have occurred without your determination, understanding and sensitive handling of a great diversity of perspectives.”

Lucy Jeynes, MD, Larch Consulting
“Gwen Rhys must be the best-connected woman in London. She has done so much to support so many women – she’d be a fantastic choice for Sheriff.”

Bev White, Ceo, GI group UK
” You will be great in this role Gwen.”
