London: A British Indian entrepreneur and founder of an ethnic minority focussed marketing agency has been conferred the Freedom of the City of London honour for his contributions to the financial hub of the UK capital.
Manish Tiwari, founder of Here and Now 365, read the “Declaration of a Freeman” and signed the Freeman’s Declaration Book recently, when he was presented with the Copy of the Freedom — a parchment document inscribed by a calligrapher, along with a copy of the “Rules for the Conduct of Life” which
date from the mid-eighteenth century.
The honour is steeped in history and traditionally the recognition gave a "Freeman" the right to trade in the Square Mile or financial heart of London.
“On the strength of its multi-cultural legacy, the City of London continues to grow and prosper. It remains at the forefront of global finance by leveraging its past and embracing change and I am honoured to be a part of this legacy,” said Tiwari.
