The Worshipful Company of Curriers - historic City of London Livery Company with an active current membership.
Founded in 1272, the Company received its Charter of Incorporation from King James I in 1605. Like many Livery Companies today, it is no longer a craft guild, supervising and regulating a specific business activity. It has developed into a modern fellowship involved in a range of contemporary activities with a lively and enthusiastic membership.

With the decline of the leather currying trade in the UK, the Curriers have developed into a modern fellowship of over 100 professional men and women, many working in or close to the City of London.
The Company has a long history, dating from 1272 when the “Mysterie of Curriers” first became a trade association. It holds number 29 in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies of the City.
Charity and education are amongst the main pillars of the Company’s activities. Charitable giving is focused on welfare and education in the leather industry and the communities of London.
