Lister Shearing Equipment Ltd, a manufacturer of shearing and clipping equipment, has been awarded a Royal Warrant by Appointment to King Charles III for the supply of animal care products.
Royal Warrants are initially granted for up to five years and entitle the holder to display the Royal Arms in relation to their business.
When the Royal Arms is used by a warrant holder it must also be accompanied by the Legend, which provides details regarding which member of the Royal Family granted the Royal Warrant, the company name, the nature of the goods or services provided to them, and the head office address of the company.
“Being honoured with a Royal Warrant is an extraordinary achievement that recognises the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said managing director Sebastian Goodison.
‘Exciting times’
Being awarded a Royal Warrant has coincided with the company successfully completing a management buyout from its American parent company, Wahl.
A statement sent to Your Horse said the move provides Lister with greater autonomy and ensures the long-term future of the business, which is based in Gloucestershire.
“This is an incredibly exciting moment for Lister, our employees, and our customers,” said Sebastian.
“By taking ownership of the business, we are securing its future and ensuring that we remain committed to the values and craftsmanship that have defined us for more than 100 years.
“To receive a Royal Warrant from HM The King at the same time makes this milestone all the more meaningful.
“It is a testament to the consistent quality and reliability of our products.
“We are energised by the opportunities ahead as we embark on this new chapter.”
