Welcome to the Joiners and Ceilers Web site

The Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers (Ceilers were Carvers) has a long and distinguished history dating back to before Queen Elizabeth I, who gave us our charter in 1571. Today we are a modern Livery Company that is proud of its craft, its history and its traditions. We continue to foster the trades of joinery and carving and promote excellence through our awards and bursaries. Like all Livery companies, we are committed to helping those less fortunate than ourselves through charitable fund raising and as Master for this year I have nominated as my charity The Reynaud's and Scleroderma Association.

Our craft still remains very much practiced in the construction industry, and in the coming year we will be lending support in October 2010 ,at Excel, to Skills build London 2011 as part of my theme of strengthening our ties with the construction industry. In addition to the construction industry, we have many Liverymen from the City of London's financial services sector and this mixed group continue the Company tradition of being the "Jolly Joiners".

Please feel free to peruse our site to learn something of our historic company which is no. 41 in the list of London Livery Companies and to contact us.
