The commercial division of Quakers in Britain (formerly known as Quiet Company) is one of the most quietly influential Quaker businesses in the UK. At Friends House, the team runs a thriving conferencing and events business, the Quaker Bookshop, and the much-loved Seed Café. At Swarthmoor Hall, the team oversees the house, accommodation, conferencing, café, and shop.
