Royal Warrant Holders Association supports Veterans Aid

Veterans Aid was the surprise recipient of a cheque for £1,000 from the Royal Warrant Holders Association following a visit by three of its representatives to the charity’s Victoria HQ. Trustee Christopher Rowe, Events and Finance Manager Claire Anderson and RWHA President Bill Gunn had been told about the charity’s work among veterans in crisis and came to find out more from its CEO Dr Hugh Milroy.

Dr Milroy said “We were absolutely delighted to receive the money, and to have the chance to explain what a difference it will make to those we support, but it also means a lot to know that busy people have made the time to come and see us personally. Funding is vital, but equally important is the need to raise our profile so that those ex-Servicemen and women who need us know where to come and what help is available.”

The Royal Warrant Holders Association represents individuals and firms with Royal Warrants of Appointment. Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition to individuals or companies who have supplied goods or services for at least five years to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh or HRH The Prince of Wales. Warrants have always been regarded as demonstrating excellence and quality, and are highly prized.

There are around 850 Royal Warrant Holders representing a huge cross-section of trade and industry. They range from traditional craftspeople to global and multinational firms operating at the cutting edge of technology. Warrants are granted to named individuals – Grantees – who must personally ensure the Warrant is used correctly. Warrant Holders may display the relevant Royal Arms and the legend ‘By Appointment’ on their products, premises, stationery, vehicles and advertising.

Whatever their size or specialisation Warrant Holders are united by their commitment to the highest standards of service and excellence.
