On 9 November 2024, SIM combined with five other organisations under the grouping Our National Quality Infrastructure to join the Lord Mayors Show. The float consisted of representatives from UKAS, WCSIM, BSI, NPL, CQI|IRCA and CTSI. The float (named after the orginal river borne Show) included the Master, Jim Webster; Liverymen: Simon Flower and Joan Hall plus Freemen Scott Greenwell, Meng Wu and Ed Talboys. Scott and Joan took it in turns to carry a large balloon with the SIM coat of arms. Apprently we nearly lost Scott in a gust of wind. After the Show participants and their families were invited back to SIM Hall (aka Glaziers Hall) for refreshments and a sit down.
