In a significant accolade, John Lewis has been granted the prestigious Royal Warrant of Appointment as the supplier of Household Goods and Furnishings to His Majesty King Charles III. The recognition highlights the retailer’s enduring commitment to quality and exceptional service over its 160-year history.
“It’s a proud moment to be recognised by His Majesty with his Royal Warrant,” remarked Peter Ruis, Executive Director of John Lewis. “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 underscores John Lewis’ dedication to its local communities and high environmental standards, cementing its position as a leader in sustainable and responsible retail.
A Continuing Tradition of Royal Recognition
The Royal Warrant is a mark of distinction, granted to businesses that have consistently supplied the Royal Household for a minimum of five years. This latest honour builds on a rich history of royal associations for John Lewis, following the Royal Warrants granted by Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to its Reading and Oxford Street stores. Additionally, Peter Jones, the iconic John Lewis store in Sloane Square, has previously held Royal Warrants from The former Prince of Wales (now King Charles III) and the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Waitrose’s Royal Connection
This recognition for John Lewis follows the earlier announcement in May 2024 that its sister company, Waitrose, had been granted His Majesty’s Royal Warrant as Grocers and Wine & Spirit Merchants. The shared success of John Lewis and Waitrose reinforces the strength and reputation of the John Lewis Partnership.
Commitment to Excellence
The Royal Warrant reflects not only John Lewis’ longstanding relationship with the Royal Household but also its broader ethos of delivering unparalleled quality and innovation. The recognition affirms the brand’s pledge to uphold the highest standards while supporting its communities and championing sustainability in all its operations.
For customers and partners alike, this accolade is a reminder of John Lewis’ enduring legacy and its commitment to being a trusted name in British retail.
