World Wide - Promoting Fellowship
Until recently, Livery companies were precluded from accepting overseas nationals as Freemen or Liverymen.
When the City's Court of Aldermen permitted an international approach to membership, the Carmen were the first to take this up and made Louis Schweitzer, nephew of Albert and head of Renault, free of the Company.
Over a decade earlier, the Company clothed the first Carman from an ethnic minority - academic Karra Venkateswara Rao from City University.
Contemporary Carmen include a lady of American birth, a South African national and a French car manufacturer.
