Position of Clerk
The Worshipful Company of Fletchers are currently seeking a new Clerk. Details of the role and application process can be found in this section.
The Worshipful Company of Fletchers is one of the ancient Livery Companies of the City of London.
The Fletchers petitioned the Lord Mayor for a separate trade of arrow making in March 1371 and it is therefore over 655 years since its founding as an independent entity. Despite being an ancient Company it obtained its first grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation in 2021 with objects to:
(i) Encourage and foster the craft of fletching and the making of arrows;
(ii) Develop and support the use of arrows for competitive and social archery;
(iii) Support the development and production of equipment and the delivery of services that facilitate the achievement of the objects;
(iv) Develop associations with technologies and industries having characteristics of fletching or of controlling and directing the movement of an object;
(v) Exercise the role of a livery company within the traditions of the City of London and to encourage Members to participate in the governance of the City of London and to support the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen and the Commonalty.
The Charter and its associated Bylaws and Ordinances will guide the development of the Company into the future.
The Company, whilst steeped in tradition and history, has embraced change and sought to broaden its focus in the past few years, improving communication, including a new website, seeking to improve use of technology, and think about encouraging members to actively participate in the activities of the Company. The Company has a desire to increase its membership and has an active initiative, launched in our 650th anniversary year, to achieve this aim.
