King Charles III awards Royal Warrant To Shropshire artisan ham producer
Shropshire artisan ham producer DukesHill has been awarded a Royal Warrant by King Charles III.
DukesHill was first bestowed a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for its production of traditional artisan hams and will continue to supply ham to the Royal Household.
Mark Gallagher, DukesHill’s CEO, said: “We are incredibly proud and truly honoured to receive the Royal Warrant from His Majesty The King.
"As an artisan ham producer focused on working with the very best British farmers, this prestigious accolade further solidifies our faith in the importance of championing true artisan craftsmanship. As we approach our 40th anniversary, it is wonderful for our team to be acknowledged for our unwavering dedication to quality, provenance and welfare.”
Founded in Shropshire in 1985, DukesHill began as a labour of love, crafting the finest Wiltshire, York and Shropshire black hams using time-honoured traditional techniques with the highest regard for animal welfare.
Champions of the artisan, DukesHill works closely with local farmers and skilled artisans to create the very best handmade British fine foods, focusing on welfare, provenance, taste and texture above all else.
Recently awarded the Organic Food Federation Certificate for a range of its hams, DukesHill is one of only a few producers of certified organic wet cured ham in the UK.
The renewal of the Royal Warrant reflects DukesHill’s dedication to the values championed by HM King Charles III, such as preserving British heritage.
