The Fishmongers' Company - The Fishmongers' Company

We are a Traditional Company with Modern Values

The Fishmongers’ Company is one of the oldest and most ancient Livery Companies of the City of London, one of the ‘Great Twelve.’ For 700 years it has stood on the banks of the River Thames playing a leading role in upholding the standards in the trading of fish and shellfish . A role it continues today, as well as making a significant contribution to the UK fishing sector and other non-fishery areas through our Philanthropy and Grants projects.

Since 1272 the Fishmongers’ Company has combined our support for a thriving seafood trade with charitable giving and unity in fellowship. Find out more about where we have come from and our modern purpose in this animated film.

Our Purpose

To promote a flourishing fishing industry and healthy fulfilled lives for people and initiatives in need of support, by the best use of the broad range of resources at our disposal.

We believe

Life opportunity, given and supported over the long-term, is the most powerful way of enabling people to live their lives to the full.

The sustainable management and use of the marine environment is vital for the prosperity and well being of our fishing industry and our island nation.

Gifts and good intentions are not enough, we must give of ourselves, our energy and time, experience and skills, influence and intelligence.

We hold our traditions, hall and treasures in trust: to support our current work and to benefit future generations.

Sociability is a talent and we hold it dear; it is a joy to experience and a powerful tool to be used for good.

We have a duty to manage and harness all our assets judiciously so that we optimise the scale of resources at our disposal.
