The Company was authorised to regulate and control the fur trade throughout the country. In this copiously illustrated book, the author shows how some of the most powerful merchants of the day were able to set up great trading empires, which allowed them and the Skinners' Company to acquire the wealth that enabled them to found schools, almshouses, and other charities for the benefit of the young, the needy and the elderly. This caring tradition has endured for over five hundred years and, as the author points out, by learning to adapt and to seek out new challenges, the Company is still a powerful force for good in the 21st Century.
