Livery companies are trade and craft associations that aim to foster trade, serve the community, and support modern skills in their profession. This livery company’s history is steeped in coal, with its origins going back to the Woodmongers in the 14th century. It’s motto is 'IN CARBONE ROBUR NOSTRUM', which translates as 'OUR STRENGTH IS IN COAL'. Today however it has diversified and represents all sectors of the energy industry. http://www.fuellers.co.uk/  Trade and craft associations have flourished all over Europe for many centuries, but the City of London companies, now collectively known as the Livery, are unique in their survival, number and diversity.
