The Warrant took effect from 1st January 2011 and is granted for a five year period. The appointment is as a result of Azzurri having been a direct supplier of mobile telephony and associated connectivity to the Royal Household since 2003.
Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to certain members of the Royal Family for a number of years. Three members of the Royal Family currently grant warrants: The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales - and while they are advised by the Lord Chamberlain, the final decision to grant a Royal Warrant is made by the member of the Royal Family concerned.
Mark Quartermaine, CEO, Azzurri Communications, said “It’s a great honour for any firm to be awarded a Royal Warrant. It is an exceptionally prestigious stamp of quality and reliability and therefore we’re delighted to receive this recognition.”
Azzurri is the UK’s leading provider of managed telecoms services. As well as providing communications services to the Royal Household, Azzurri counts over 25% of the FTSE 100 as customers.
