The Royal Warrant

The Royal Warrant is as old as the Monarchy and was created as a way of recognising the skills of companies who produced products for the Royal Households. Besides specialist items such as crowns, jewellery and robes, ordinary household products were also required from kitchen utensils, furniture and brushes. Having had two royal visits in its lifetime, HBC has held the Royal Warrant since 1981.

The accolade of supplying the Royal Household was, and remains, a sign of excellence, a recognition to be proud of and one that is unequalled anywhere in the world. Our warrant gives HBC the right to display the royal coat of arms discreetly on our products, packaging, stationary and company vehicles.

A company's Royal Warrant is reviewed every five years and HBC continues to set the benchmark for products in its field.
