We are a charitable community of makers and users of scientific instruments who include scientists, engineers, academics and students.
For the first time ever at the Lord Mayors Show WCSIM, UKAS, NPL & BSi. combined to provide a float at the Lord Mayor’s Show in 2023.
Our education and charitable trust has been built up over the years through regular donations from Liverymen and from generous endowments.
We have a thriving apprenticeship programme and we also support post graduates and post doctoral students.
Our members get together to share knowledge and experience; influence opinion; and enjoy good fellowship.
Our Master for 2023/24, Mr Aubrey Dunford, offers a very warm welcome to the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers.
We welcome applications from experienced professionals from academia and industry with a passion for instrumentation.
The Livery year starts in late October with the Admission Court at which the new Master, Senior and Junior Wardens are installed as officers.
The Trust was established by the founders of the company and has benefited from regular donations from liverymen and some substantial legacy gifts. Our fund now stands at over £3M.
