CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Worshipful Company of Fuellers is a modern livery company which was established in 1981 and granted livery status in 1984. It represents all sectors of the energy industry although its origins are in coal. Various bodies represented the interests of the coal trade until the combined efforts of The Society of Coal Merchants of London, The Society of Coal Factors, and the Coal Meters formed a City Livery Company - the Fuellers - in 1981. Many members of the Fuellers' Company work in the energy industry. The Company continues to support and promote that industry, but its activities are predominantly charitable.
