Livery Company

entitats comercials de Londres

Les livery companies de Londres, Anglaterra, són entitats que provenen de les guildes medievals, i associacions comercials antigues i modernes, gairebé totes amb la denominació de Worshipful Company of ... seguida dels seus respectius oficis, activitat comercial o professió.[1] Aquestes empreses tenen un paper important en la vida de la ciutat de Londres, especialment al districte financer i el cor històric de la capital, realitzant accions de beneficència i de treball en xarxa. Els liverymen conserven els drets de vot per algunss càrrecs cívics de la ciutat, com ara el de Lord Mayor (alcaldia), Sheriffs i la City of London Corporation.[1]

La majoria de les companyies livery segueixen mantenint relació amb els seus rols comercials, artesanals o professionals originals. Alguns encara exerceixen facultats de regulació, inspecció i legislació, mentre que d'altres són organismes adjudicataris de qualificacions professionals. The Scriveners 'Company admet membres sèniors de professions jurídiques i associades, l'Apothecaries' Society atorga títols de postgrau en algunes especialitats mèdiques i la Hackney Carriage Drivers 'Company està formada per conductors de taxis autoritzats que han superat la prova "Knowledge of London". Diverses compnayies restringeixen l'admissió a aquelles persones que tinguin qualificacions professionals rellevants: per exemple la City of London Solicitors 'Company i la Worshipful Company of Engineers. Altres companyies, el comerç de les quals va desaparèixer fa temps, com la Longbow Makers 'Company, han evolucionat fins a convertir-se fonamentalment en fundacions benèfiques.[1]

Companyies

El 1515, el Tribunal dels regidors de la ciutat de Londres (Court of Aldermen) va acordar una ordre de precedència per a les 48 companies livery existents en aquella època, basada en el poder econòmic o polític contemporani d'aquestes entitats.[1] Les 12 companyies amb millor classificació continuen sent conegudes com les Great Twelve City Livery Companies.
