The Worshipful Company of Horners
The Worshipful Company of Horners is both an ancient guild and livery company, and a modern City Institution.
The Company operates under a Charter received from Charles I in 1638 although it is believed that there were earlier charters. As the craft of working with horn declined, in 1943 the Company had the vision to adopt horn’s modern equivalent, plastics, at a time when that industry was in its infancy.
Today, the Worshipful Company of Horners maintains both its ancient links to the City of London and to the Plastics Industry.
