Based in Brierley Hills, in West Midlands, the company was founded
by 47 year-old Trevor Jones, the Managing Director at Apex
Packaging. What started as a small family business in 1992, now
employs 20 people, and is continuing to expand across the country.
Apex Packaging makes made-to-order cartons and boxes. In the past,
thy have supplied presentation boxes to Prince Charles’ Highgrove
Estate, and to the Prince himself, at Clarence House.
Mr. Jones said about the Royal warrant: “It is surprising what
doors it has opened for us. The warrant shows that we have sent
significant supplies for the last five years to the Prince at
Clarence House.”
A Royal warrant of appointment is a Coat of Arms issued by a member
of the Royal Family, which allows suppliers to establish the fact
that they provide goods to the issuer of the warrant, adding to
their prestige. In the British Royal Family, only the three most
senior members (that is, The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the
Prince of Wales) are allowed to issue a Royal warrant. So far,
Prince Charles has granted 159 Royal warrants.
Confirmation of the Royal warrant of appointment from the Prince of
Wales was given to Apex Packaging at the end of last year. The
warrant reads: “By Appointment to H.R.H The Prince of Wales,
Manufacturer of Presentation Boxes, Apex Packaging Ltd, Brierley
Hill, Staffordshire.
