His extensive travels throughout the year, to more than 25 countries and numerous cities and towns within the UK itself, have seen him advocate passionately and effectively on behalf of the UK‟s financial and professional services sectors, highlighting the role of the City and the UK as an incubator for dynamic and emerging industries. He has also been able to use his strong shipping background to promote particularly the maritime sector, including the contribution of that industry to both the City and the UK‟s economy. Whether through his participation at Posidonia – the world‟s largest shipping conference – or through high-level engagement with both the sector and Government, he has been able to further cement the UK‟s pre- eminence in the field. The Lord Mayor has acted as host at many special occasions in Guildhall and Mansion House during the past year and will look back, with particular pride, on his role in Her Majesty the Queen‟s 90th Birthday celebrations at St Paul‟s Cathedral and Guildhall. As well as the magnificent State Banquet for the President of Colombia, he has also hosted a large number of high-profile visitors to Mansion House, including the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the Presidents of Chile and Madagascar. His colleagues on this Court also wish to pay tribute to Juliet, the Lady Mayoress, who has herself undertaken a varied programme with passion and commitment. We express our gratitude for all her contributions. In taking their leave of Jeffrey, their 688th Lord Mayor, Honourable Members reflect that he has been an exemplary ambassador for both the City of London and for the United Kingdom and express our confidence that, after a well-earned rest, he will look back on a unique year with the greatest pleasure, a justifiable pride and immense satisfaction. 6.
