James Cordiner & Son Limited (trading as Cordiners Timber & Building Supplies) is “thrilled and honoured” to have been awarded a Royal Warrant for goods supplied to His Majesty The King.
Royal Warrants are a highly prized mark of recognition for individuals or companies who have supplied goods or services for at least five years to one of the Royal Households. It entitles that company to use the Royal Coat of Arms on its products, packaging, stationery, vehicles and premises.
Cordiners held a Royal Warrant for goods supplied to the late Queen for many years and with this new warrant, it looks forward to continuing its close working relationship with the Royal Household. Operating from a site on Sinclair Road beside Aberdeen harbour, the timber and builders’ merchant offers a wide range of home improvement and building products – from construction timber to kitchens and bathrooms – whilst its showroom and trade counter are open to both the public and trade customers.
The King, then the Duke of Rothesay, visited the business in September 2021 to mark the 150th anniversary of the company and spent time talking to staff and touring the site (main image above).
Managing Director Stuart J A Cordiner commented: “I was thrilled to be informed by the Office of the Lord Chamberlain this week that our family owned and run company had the considerable honour of being granted a royal warrant for goods supplied to His Majesty The King. As a fifth generation family-owned and run company, Cordiners is one of the oldest family businesses in Scotland and continues to strive for quality and sustainability. (We are) privileged to be among many household names and famous brands which hold a Royal Warrant such as Fortnum and Mason, Burberry, Walkers Shortbread and Johnstons of Elgin.”
