The Pewterers’ Company is governed by a Royal Charter Company, and is steeped in history and tradition. Founded in the Middle Ages, as a city guild, the Company has evolved over several centuries and possesses, today, a healthy mixture of the ‘ancient and the modern.’
The Company’s purposes are many and varied; they include support to the pewter trade in this country, support to the Armed Forces of the Crown and support to the government of the City of London. They also provide financial support to charities across a number of sectors, including education, Cadet Forces and ‘relief of need.’ As a membership organisation, they maintain a strong sense of fellowship and provide an enjoyable, vibrant social life, centred around our Livery Hall in the heart of the City of London.
