Fiji      12,000 miles
Germany   18,000 miles
Brazil    16,000 miles
India     16,000 miles

Trade Convention #2 - Logic Puzzles

Messrs Butcher, Baker, Carpenter and Plumber are currently attending another convention.

No-one is currently, nor ever has been in the same profession as their name and no-one has had the same profession twice.
Alan is now a butcher, whereas Mr Brian Butcher used to be a baker.

The person who is now a carpenter used to be a butcher.

Charles has never been a baker, Mr Darren Carpenter has never been a butcher and Mr Baker is not now a carpenter.

Can you determine their full names, along with their current and previous professions?
