Worshipful Company of Coopers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Worshipful Company of Coopers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The organisation of Coopers existed in 1422; it received a Royal Charter of incorporation in 1501. The trade of Coopers, the making of wine, beer, and spirit barrels, having become obsolete, the Company now exists as a charitable foundation.

It also supports the Coopers' Company and Coborn School of Upminster and Strode's College of Egham, Surrey.

The Coopers' Company ranks thirty-sixth in the order of precedence of Livery Companies. Its motto is Love as Brethren.
