Richer by Royal Appointment
Retailer Richer Sounds has been recognised by royalty.
The company, which was founded in 1978 with its first shop at London Bridge, has been awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales as a supplier of consumer electronics products.
The Royal Warrant is effective from the beginning of this year.
Commenting on the company's new status, Richer Sounds chairman David Robinson said 'We are honoured and delighted to be granted this Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, this a wonderful start to 2011!'
Richer Sounds now has 52 shops, ten of which are in London, and its original shop consistently appears in the Guinness Book of Records for the highest sales per square foot of any retail outlet in the world.

Well he can't ever have shopped there! Bad service. Products advertised then "not in stock" and generally bad product knowledge. Richer sounds is the audio retailer version of Argos in my book.
If it's from JD, you'll never see it.
And that's a fiver you've won me, Big Aura.
I have it on good authority he posts using the three-letter name of a man's grooming/styling product....
When do we see the first "Duchy Originals" organic, free-range Cambridge Audio products?
Seriously, well done RS.
Data protection regulations preclude us from answering your question, Big Aura
according to wikipedia, to qualify, Richer Sounds will have to have a trading history with HRH the Prince of Wales for more than five years.
The nearest RS to Clarence House is Bloomsbury Way. I used to pop in there at least once a week after a meeting. Never saw him in the place. Andrew - does he post here?
Good on you, I use Richer Sounds a lot, Obviously my warrant was not good enough!!!
