- Company of Educators
-
The Company of Educators is a guild in the City of London. The Guild was founded on 24 May 2001 to represent the education and training profession and for charitable purposes.
On 15 September 2009 the City's Court of Aldermen granted the petition of the Guild of Educators and agreed that the Guild be constituted one of the Companies of the City, without a grant of livery, with the title of "The Company of Educators" and that its Ordinances be approved and duly enrolled amongst the records of the City.
The Guild aims to achieve a grant of livery to become a Livery Company.
