Worshipful Company of Fuellers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Worshipful Company of Fuellers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. It is now associated with the whole energy sector, but has its roots in coal : The Fuellers, or coal traders, were originally members of the Woodmongers' Company, which became defunct in the eighteenth century. The Company was incorporated separately in 1981, and was granted Livery status in 1984. It is a charitable institution, many of the members of which (though by no means all) are drawn from across the energy industry.
Membership is not limited to energy employees. The company's activities include a social programme and regular industrial visits and talks.
The Fuellers' Company ranks ninety-fifth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is In Carbone Robur Nostrum, Latin for Our Strength in Coal. It recently made a submission to the government's energy policy review, which can be found on its web site.
