The Water Related Livery Companies

The Wet 10 are an informal group of both users and suppliers of water. We all depend on water in one way or another and all share a common concern for the long term health of the water environment. Our aim is to promote awareness, to contribute to debate and to be an influence for the good in this key area. The current event is being supported by the following companies: Plumbers, Basketmakers, Gardeners, Farmers, the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators, Scientific Instrument Makers, Launderers, Environmental Cleaners, Constructors, Water Conservators, Firefighters and Watermen & Lightermen.
