Worshipful Company of World Traders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Worshipful Company of World Traders is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Guild of World Traders was founded in 1985, became a Company in 1993, and was granted Livery status by the Court of Aldermen with effect from 2000. It only accepts members from the international trade fraternity, with the aim of raising awareness and understanding of, and standards of practice in, world trade.

The Company ranks hundred-and-first in the order of precedence for Livery Companies.

The Company's motto is commerce and honest friendship with all, taken from Thomas Jefferson's inaugural Presidential speech.
