  Founder's Prize 2006 - Press Release
The Worshipful Company of Founders is a City of London Livery Company which began its existence as one of the early medieval "guilds" or associations formed by members of various crafts or trades in the City of London.
The Company manages seven charities, and whilst some funds are available for more general charitable purposes, the bulk of the annual income is spent on educational grants and bursaries, the larger elements being grants relevant to metallurgy and materials engineering.
The Company made a substantial bursary a few years ago to the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers for developing training of ringers in the form of establishing ringing training centres throughout the country, and there are currently 36 established and operating.

 Worshipful Company of Bakers - Guild, City of London, Livery and Hall, England, UK
Today’s livery companies are not picturesque leftovers of history but living institutions, whose activities have been commended by successive Royal Commissions and whose liverymen assemble in Common Hall to carry out important functions in the elections of the City’s government and certain of its officers.
Livery companies still maintain the structure of organisation shown, and the tradition is adopted by the new guilds.
In certain companies the officers are known by different titles, for example, the Fishmongers have a Prime Warden instead of a Master, and the number of wardens may vary between two and four according to the size of the company.

 The Worshipful Company of Saddlers: Charitable Activities
In 1556 Robert Kitchin, a Warden of the Company, left a property (the present Roman Wall House) in the Parish of St Olave's, Hart Street, to the Company, on condition that the income would be applied to the maintenance of the Church of St Ethelburga-the-Virgin in Bishopsgate and the poor of its parish.
In 1698, Richard Banner, Clerk to the Company from 1671 to 1702, gave a capital sum to the Company to enable apprenticeship premiums to be paid on behalf of poor boys who would otherwise have been unable to enter the saddlery trade.
The investments of all the Company's charities are managed by the Finance and Investment Committee, which has been successful in steadily increasing their capital value so that the charities have had a rising annual income to meet increasing demands.

 Museum Focus: Worshipful Company of Clockmakers by by Richard Alan Mones from Antiques & Fine Art magazine
Therefore, the Clockmakers’ Company was founded1 as a trade guild to control the training, production, and quality of the clocks and watches made in the City of London, and in 1631 King Charles I granted the guild a royal charter.
In return for rigorous protection by the company from outside competition, the members had to submit to strict regulations concerning how they treated their customers, fellow makers, and apprentices, and the standards their work was held to.
By the late 1670s, the trade was prospering, in part due to further scientific advances: the "recoil" or "anchor" escapement, which allowed a long pendulum in the clock, and the "balance spring," which improved the accuracy of watches.

From the 18th century many companies began a long drawn-out transition from their key role as regulative industrial bodies to associations mainly concerned with the management of their often valuable properties and the sponsorship of charitable, educational or 'clubbable' activities.
This vindicated the companies' stewardship of their charitable funds and their role in helping to contribute to 'education, social science and human progress'.
Not least because the new companies are helping to transform their image into more active, contemporary organisations (which include women) of people at the top of their field.
