LOCAL businesses holding a Royal Warrant must now await a decision as to whether a new monarch will mean a change to their status.

The Warrant is granted as recognition for companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to senior members of the Royal Family.

Royal Warrants become void following the death of the monarch, but brands can display the coat of arms for two years.

The late Queen, the late Duke of Edinburgh and also the Prince of Wales, were the only members of the Royal household who could grant a warrant.

There are more than 800 Royal Warrant holders, according to the Royal Family.

Businesses that have previously been given Royal Warrants include:

  • Towy Projects Ltd in Llanwrda who carry out heritage and sustainable builds and bespoke carpentry, joinery and timber framing.
  • Mathews Butchers in Llandovery, a family-run butchers who source local, quality meat burgers and produce that is produced on site including sausages, beef burgers and pies.
  • Preventapest Limited in Ammanford who provide pest control services across Wales.
  • Corgi Hosiery Ltd in Ammanford who produce cotton and wool socks and knitwear.
  • D.A.S. Construction in Llandovery who are agricultural contractors.
  • Hormann’s Firewood in Llandovery who supply locally sourced and seasoned firewood.

The Royal Warrant Holders Association have notified warrant holders they will be sharing guidelines when appropriate and say the future of Warrants will be reviewed by the Royal Household and cannot enter into speculation at this time.
