Historia
A Carman was a man a carter or carrier. In 1514 the Fraternity of St Katherine the Virgin and Martyr was formed giving the Carmen a monopoly of plying for hire in the City. They became an independent fellowship in 1668 by an act of Common Council and in 1946 received their charter from George VI. The Carmen were originally carriers of goods, but are now concerned with all aspects of the transport industry. The Company maintains a special relationship with the Royal Corps of Transport.
