 Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

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.
Whilst livery companies are based in the City their membership is widely drawn and in many cases their charitable support flows out far further than the City and Greater London.
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.

The composition of their membership has, over the years, become less related to the calling which gave the companies their names - Grocers, Mercers, Loriners, Fletchers, Haberdashers - than as was the case in earlier times.
A conscious and deliberate feature of the new Companies has been a return to the original concept by requiring that membership of the Livery Company be confined to those involved with the relevant profession.
Thus, with the Arbitrators, under the Constitutions and Ordinances of the Livery Company, as approved by the Court of Mayor and Aldermen, members must have a real interest in arbitration either directly as practitioners or users of arbitration or through a related form of dispute resolution.
