Membership
To become a member of the Royal Warrant Holders Association (RWHA) a company must hold a Royal Warrant which is only granted to tradesmen who provide goods and services to the Royal Households of The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh or The Prince of Wales (known as the Grantors). Royal Warrants are only issued to tradesman. The professions such as bankers, solicitors and accountants, employment agencies, party planners, government departments, the media and 'places of refreshment or entertainment' do not qualify.
To apply for a Royal Warrant a company must have traded for a minimum of 5 years within the last 7 years including the year prior to application with at least one of the Grantors. Applicants also have to demonstrate that they have a workable environmental policy. Applications for a Royal Warrant, which have to be submitted by the end of May each year, are made through the RWHA. Each application is then considered by a committee that sits in November.
Further details about applying for a Royal Warrant and membership of the RWHA can be found in our FAQ section or can be obtained from the Secretary at warrants@rwha.co.uk
