King Charles III grants video production company Chocolate Films with a Royal Warrant in recognition of its work
Social Enterprise, Chocolate Films has been awarded a Royal Warrant by King Charles III for Video Production Services. Chocolate Films is currently the only video production company of its kind to hold a Royal Warrant. The warrant is in recognition of over a decade of service to the Royal Household and Royal Collection Trust. Video production company and social enterprise Chocolate Films, is proud to announce that it has been granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by His Majesty King Charles III. This highly prestigious endorsement recognises Chocolate Films for its service to the Royal Household and Royal Collection Trust. Since its first commission in 2013, Chocolate Films has produced a diverse range of content for the Royal Household and Royal Collection Trust, working from its London and Glasgow offices. The Royal Warrant is granted to companies that have supplied goods or services to the Royal Household for at least five years and continue to uphold the highest standards of sustainability, quality and reliability. This appointment is not only a significant achievement for Chocolate Films as a creative agency, but also as a social enterprise. The company reinvests its profits into community filmmaking programmes across the UK, working with young people, underrepresented voices, and those with limited access to the creative industries. “This is a landmark moment for us. As a small business and a social enterprise we are beyond proud to be honoured in this way.” said Mark Currie, Director and Co-Founder of Chocolate Films. “It’s a testament to the creativity and commitment of our team, and to our unique approach to film production — combining storytelling, craftsmanship and a strong social mission.” Chocolate Films joins a distinguished group of Royal Warrant holders, including heritage British brands such as Fortnum & Mason, Barbour, and Twinings. It also shares the honour with luxury chocolate companies such as Prestat and Bendicks — a sweet alignment for a company named ‘Chocolate Films’. As a new member of the Royal Warrant Holders Association, Chocolate Films also looks forward to actively supporting the association’s charitable initiatives and promoting excellence and community service across its industry.
