The Dyers’ Company is thirteenth of the ‘Great Twelve’ City of London Livery Companies and was established in 1471 by a Royal Charter issued by Henry IV. The Company's present-day activities are centered on continuing development of the craft of dyeing (nowadays largely chemistry) through strong connections with (amongst others) the Department of Colour and Polymer Chemistry at the University of Leeds, the Department of Textile Design at Heriot-Watt University and the Society of Dyers & Colourists in Bradford, education and general charitable work.
