John Lewis has been granted the Royal Warrant of Appointment as supplier of Household Goods and Furnishings to His Majesty King Charles III.

Peter Ruis, Executive Director of John Lewis, 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.

The Royal Warrant is a mark of recognition to companies who have regularly supplied the Royal Household for at least five years. The awarding of The King’s Warrant follows that granted by Her late Majesty The Queen to John Lewis Reading and John Lewis Oxford Street, whilst Peter Jones in Sloane Square held Royal Warrants of appointment from The former Prince of Wales and from The late Duke of Edinburgh.

The news follows the announcement in May that His Majesty had granted Waitrose his Royal Warrant of Appointment as Grocers and Wine & Spirit Merchants.
