By appointment

By Delwyn Cummack

Royal warrants recognise individuals or companies who have supplied goods or services to the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh or Prince of Wales for at least five years. 

There are currently around 850 royal warrant holders supplying everything from military regalia to mobile phones. 

Supply Management is writing a feature about suppliers 'by appointment’ and wants to know if this accolade gives them the upper hand in negotiations or makes them more pricey? 

Have you ever come across suppliers who hold the Royal Warrant?

What have been your experiences?

Would this influence your choice of supplier?
