The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Nick Anstee, spoke to Cass Business School students and alumni at the Emirates Towers Hotel today. This event was organised in partnership with the British Business Group (BBG).

More than 200 senior figures from London and the GCC business and finance sectors were present.

As head of the City of London Corporation, which provides business and local government services to the City – one of the world’s leading financial centres - the Lord Mayor of London's principal role today is ambassador for all UK-based financial and professional services. It is an elected role for one year and the position is unpaid and apolitical. The Lord Mayor is also Chancellor of City University, the parent organisation of Cass Business School. This role should not be confused with the Mayor of London who is accountable for the strategic government of Greater London.
