Mercedes-Benz UK has received a Royal Warrant in recognition the supply of vehicles used by the Royal Household.
It allows Mercedes-Benz to display the relevant Royal Arms in limited circumstances in connection with its business.
Tere are currently over 800 Royal Warrant holders, representing a wide cross-section of trade and industry businesses, from individual craftspeople to global multi-nationals.
There is no requirement for the company concerned to be British owned or UK-based.
Warrant-holding firms do not provide their goods or services for free to the Royal Households, and all transactions are conducted on a strictly commercial basis.
A Royal Warrant is initially granted for up to five years to a named individual at a company, known as the “Grantee”.
An official Royal Warrant Display Document is sent to the Grantee which provides evidence of the authority to use the Royal Arms.
The Lord Chamberlain’s Rules govern how the Royal Warrant may be displayed on a company’s products, stationery, advertisements and other printed material, in their premises and on delivery vehicles.
The Grantee has responsibility for ensuring these rules are followed correctly.
