The Wyre Drawers is a vibrant group which fosters a sense of belonging and friendship. The events are enriching and exciting and the community make the experiences even more memorable. The philanthropic work that the Company does means a lot to me, especially its contributions to smaller charities and education.

Fellowship

We hold a range of formal and informal social events throughout the year – including dinners, visits  and informal gatherings.  The Young Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers enjoy a particularly vibrant social calendar.

Charity

Charitable giving is at the heart of what the Company does. Liverymen make an annual donation to the charitable fund which is managed by a Charity Committee who make recommendations as to which charities to support.

Craftsmanship

The GSWD has an active programme to support the wire-drawing trade providing bursaries, grants and prizes to craftsmen and women in these fields.  We are proud to have over 40 of these gifted experts as members of the company.
