(i) Retirement from the Court of Aldermen – Dame Catherine Fiona Woolf D.B.E.

Resolved unanimously:– That upon her retirement as Alderman for the Ward of Candlewick, this Court desires to place on record its most sincere appreciation of the service that Dame Catherine Fiona Woolf D.B.E. has given to the City Corporation and, in particular, to this Court.

In 2007 Dame Fiona was admitted to this Court as an Alderman for the Ward of Candlewick. In 2010, she was elected to the Office of Sheriff of the City of London and, in 2013, as the City’s 686th Lord Mayor; carrying out the demanding role with commitment and a particular focus on diversity as only the second female to serve as Lord Mayor since 1189. Having held prominent positions in her professional career – namely as a Partner at CMS Cameron McKenna and as a Consultant to the World Bank – Dame Fiona was well equipped to promote the Square Mile and the City widely and with great success. In 2015 she was appointed by Her Majesty the Queen as Dame Commander for her services to the City of London, diversity and the legal profession.

In addition to her service on a large number of City of London Corporation Committees, including the Planning and Transportation Committee, the Finance Committee and the Community and Children’s Services Committee, Dame Fiona has remained closely involved in Ward activities. She has also been an active and enthusiastic member of several livery companies, namely the Solicitors, the Worshipful Company of Builders Merchants, the Worshipful Company of Plumbers, Wax Chandlers and the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators.

On taking their leave, her colleagues would like to express to Dame Fiona their thanks and good wishes, together with the hope that she, Nicholas and their family will long
