BY APPOINTMENT TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING
We are incredibly proud to share the news that we have been granted A Royal Warrant of Appointment to His Majesty The King as Manufacturers of Estate Tweeds, Knitwear and Woven Accessories. This fantastic achievement acknowledges our focus on a diverse range of criteria, notably sustainability and the environment.
It follows a month of remarkable milestones for Johnstons of Elgin, including our recent King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade and reaching one year as a certified B Corporation.
This coveted accolade recognises our commitment to the highest standards of manufacturing quality, craftsmanship and sustainability. We are one of 145 individuals and businesses to receive a Royal Warrant of Appointment to HM The King in the first of his reign.
Johnstons of Elgin’s Royal Warrant Grantee and Vice Chair, Jenny Urquhart, said, “This is a particularly special achievement, one of which everybody at Johnstons can be justifiably proud. As passionate and dedicated manufacturers we are thrilled that what we do, and what we make, is quite literally ‘fit for our King’."
THE CAMPAIGN FOR WOOL
His Majesty The King is Patron for the Campaign for Wool and actively supports its educational activities and events to challenge the rise of toxic synthetic fibres in the worlds of fashion, interiors and the built environment. Reminding the world of wool’s support for the planet and its natural, renewable and biodegradable properties.
2024 will see the Campaign for Wool launch more exciting initiatives and collaborations for Wool Month which takes place throughout October, Johnstons are busy preparing for this alongside many other supporters of wool globally.
Choose wool and natural fibres to safeguard the planet for future generations.
THE HISTORY OF THE ROYAL WARRANT
The history of the Royal Warrant can be traced back to medieval times and in 1840,
The Royal Warrant Holders Association was formed to ensure the institution's continued existence. The Royal Warrant Holders Association supports a broad range of local charities through its grass roots grant giving via their Charity Fund and The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), an art and craft educational trust which was created to sustain traditional British craftsmanship. Both charities work the length and breadth of the country making a positive impact to local communities as well as the continuation of rare craft skills.
THE NEW ROYAL ARMS
We previously held a Royal Warrant for the Manufacturing of Estate Tweed Woollen Fabric to HM The King when he was HRH The Prince of Wales. As Warrant Holders, we can display the appropriate Royal Arms on our products and we look forward to doing so again, this time with the new Royal Arms which will be released very soon.
