John Lewis has been granted the Royal Warrant of Appointment as supplier of household goods and furnishings to His Majesty King Charles III.
The Royal Warrant is a mark of recognition to companies who have regularly supplied the Royal Household for at least five years.
The retailer‘s executive director Peter Ruis said: “It’s a proud moment to be recognised by His Majesty with his Royal Warrant.
“For 160 years, we’ve been focused on offering excellent customer service and the highest quality products, and the Royal Warrant is testament to the hard work of partners across John Lewis and our suppliers.”
The announcement also reflects John Lewis’ ongoing commitment to supporting its local communities, whilst also championing high environmental standards.
