  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.

The Skinners' Company is one of the "Great Twelve" livery companies with a history going back some 700 years.
The Company, as the Guild is now called, is no longer associated with the craft but continues to administer its own corporate property and charitable trusts.
Various areas of management of the Company are delegated by the Court to committees appointed from members having particular experience in the work concerned: for example, the Finance and General Purposes Committee, the governing bodies of our schools and various charity committees.

One of the most notable of the Company's present-day affivities is the governing of Tonbridge School, founded by a former Skinner in the sixteenth century.
By the seventeenth century the company was composed of men of numerous callings, for even among the humbler members there were many who pursued affinities other than drapery.

It had been easy enough to form the Society, but grave difficulties presented themselves when the search for an exhibition-room was entered upon … there was nowhere any room, or any set of rooms, which had been used for such a purpose.
The Society was formed in 1879 with the Lord Mayor, Sir Francies Wyatt Truscott as president and 3 exhibitions were subsequently held at Skinners' Hall.
The Skinners' Company could not provide accommodation in 1884, so the Corporation lent the former law courts (disused since the opening of the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand) on the east side of Guildhall Yard.

The 106 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
In recent years, many new professions (such as Solicitors and Chartered Accountants) have established guilds with the aim of being granted Livery.
As of 2005, there are two new City Companies without Livery (the Tax Advisers and Security Professionals) and two old bodies which, for historical reasons, are recognised as City Companies without Livery; two further guilds (Educators and Public Relations Practitioners) aim to obtain a grant of Livery.
