The Worshipful Company of Fuellers is one of the
livery companies of the
City of London. It is now associated with the whole energy sector, but has its roots in coal: the Fuellers, or coal traders, were originally members of the
Woodmongers' Company, which became defunct in the eighteenth century. The company was incorporated separately in 1981, and was granted livery status in 1984. It is a charitable institution and many of the members (though not all) are drawn from the
energy industry. As such, membership is not limited to energy sector employees, but also to those whose interests can make a contribution on energy matters.
The company's activities include a social programme (Livery dinners, ''etc''), as well as regular industrial visits and talks.
