39th (Skinners) Signal Regiment (Volunteers)
The Company adopted 65th Signal Regiment TA in 1954.
In April 1995 the Regiment reformed to 39th (Skinners) Signal Regiment (Volunteers), formally acknowledging the adoption in its title.
The Honorary Colonel of the Regiment has always been a member of the Court. The Master and Wardens visit the Regiment annually and donate awards for the best male and female soldiers.
The City University
The Skinners’ Company was one of two livery companies involved in the establishment of the Northampton Institute, which has now become the flourishing and vibrant City University.
The Sir John Cass Business School is the latest addition and was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 2003.
The City and Guilds of London Art School
Formerly part of the City and Guilds Institute, the School became independent in 1971.
It is fully accredited and has a distinguished record not only in painting and sculpture but also in the applied arts, such as engraving, manuscript, illumination, lettering and gilding.
Examples may be seen in the Freedom Scrolls and Master’s Book at Skinners’ Hall. The flower fantasy in the library is by former teacher Philip Connard RA.
The City and Guilds of London Institute
The Company is affiliated as a subscribing member of the City and Guilds Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education.
Royal College of Art
The Skinners’ Company appoints a representative to the Court of the Royal College of Art, which meets formally once a year.
What the College gains from this link is the continuing support and interest of an influential traditional body: what the Company gains is interaction with the fresh, sharp talents of the College’s students.
Christ’s Hospital
The Company’s link with Christ’s Hospital originated in the early 17th Century when William Stoddard bequeathed a sum of money to the Skinners’ Company for the ‘relief of the poor’.
Sharing Christ’s Hospital’s ethos, the Skinner’s Company has presented children with family need to the School ever since.
