The Worshipful Company of Skinners is one of the 'Great Twelve' Livery Companies of the City of London. It was originally an association of those engaged in the trade of skins and furs and was granted Royal Charter in 1327 from Edward III. The Company was authorised to regulate and control the fur trade throughout the country.

This caring tradition has endured for over five hundred years and, as the author points out, by learning to adapt and to seek out new challenges, the Company is still a powerful force for good in the 21st Century.
