Due to the decline of the trade of horn working, the company augmented its ongoing association with the ancient trade by encompassing new trades. In 1943, the company decided to support the plastics industry, as it continues to do. The company also acts as a charitable body.
The Horners' Company ranks fifty-fourth in the order of precedence for livery companies.
