  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 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.

Australia Day involved two flag-raising ceremonies, one on either side of the lake, before we dashed back to play some tennis and watch some cricket.
Then a dinner for the Master of the Worshipful Company of Woolmen: we invited a group of wool producers we knew, and I learnt a lot more about the problems facingthe wool industry, and the drive for quality.
Katie and I then entertained (?) them all by singing "Click Go The Shears", "The Springtime It Brings On The Shearers" and "Flash Jack From Gundegai" - I played the new mandolin that Katie had made for me, which sounds great.
