IT chiefs in cloaks and sashes gets Queen’s mark of approval
19th June 2010
The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists received its Royal Charter yesterday – its mark of approval from the Queen.
Charles Hughes, Master of the Company, told The Reg: “This is the culmination of three years’ work. It is a great honour and prestige to be awarded the Royal Charter and recognition of the importance of what we do. I hope it will encourage us all in our endeavors.”
The Information Technologists Company (ITC), established in 1985, works to promote the industry as a whole but is not a lobby group for specific issues. It is working with another company to set up a technology-focused school in Hammersmith and also works with Lilian Baylis Technology School in Lambeth.
