ASR Group is please to share Tate & Lyle Sugars has been granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty King Charles III. This distinguished recognition permits the use of the Royal Arms in connection with our business in the United Kingdom, underscoring the exceptional standards and quality we proudly uphold.
A Royal Warrant is one of the highest accolades a business can achieve, steeped in centuries of tradition. Originating in the 12th century, Warrants have been granted by monarchs and senior members of the Royal Family to select businesses that meet rigorous standards. Today, only around 550 companies worldwide hold this special privilege, placing Tate & Lyle Sugars among an exclusive and esteemed group.
Previously, we were honored to display a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on our UK products for more than 60 years. When Queen Elizabeth died in 2022, we entered the rigorous reapplication process for the new King’s Warrant.
“Our success in being awarded a new Royal Warrant reflects the hard work that we all put in to making our business a success,” said Gerald Mason, Tate & Lyle Sugars’ Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs. “It’s a recognition of the long history that we have in the UK, and our proud 100-plus year history of supplying the Royal Household. Additionally, the Warrant is a reflection on the progress that we have made when it comes to sustainability.”
To receive a Warrant, a company must demonstrate a long-standing commitment to supplying the Royal Household while also taking tangible steps to improve the sustainability of its operations. For us, this recognition symbolizes both tradition and progress—a balance we have proudly embraced for over a century.
Our history with the Royal Warrant dates back to 1912, when Abram Lyle & Sons received the first such distinction for supplying Lyle’s Golden Syrup to the household of King George V, the great-grandfather of His Majesty King Charles III.
Looking ahead, we are preparing for the next chapter of this storied tradition. Throughout 2025, we will update all usage of the Royal Arms to reflect King Charles III’s Warrant, including on Tate & Lyle® and Lyle’s® product packaging and websites.
Being awarded a Royal Warrant is a profound honor and a reflection of both our history and aspirations. It is a reminder of the trust placed in us by the Royal Family and our role in upholding the standards that make British craftsmanship and innovation renowned around the globe.
