By command of King Charles III, CAP.CO now has a Royal Warrant

After many years of work, CAP.CO have now been awarded the sought-after Royal Warrant of Appointment in recognition of our work for the Royal Household – one of the highest accolades bestowed to businesses supported by the Monarch.

We were given our first Royal commission ten years ago – to begin the process to design and build a playground fit for Windsor Great Park, commissioned by the Crown Estate, predominantly from local and fallen materials. This was recently awarded the highest industry recognition - a THEA award, the Themed Entertainment Association’s mark of excellence.

The work continued through the play at Poundbury and onto the Cornish town of Nansleden, with play spaces zoned to encourage different types of play at different sites. This was then followed by an accessible play structure at the King’s beloved Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, before our work amongst the stunning giant Redwood trees at Dumfries House estate in Ayrshire. Balmoral followed most recently, and the consistent theme with the rest of the work is that it’s designed to last for the very long term.

“To receive a Royal Warrant is such an incredible recognition of our work and we feel extremely honored. To be endorsed by the Royal Court and to be allowed to fly their flag on our own letterheads is a great achievement and we are all delighted and rather emotional. It’s at times like these that you wish your father were still alive,“ said CAP.CO’s founder Simon Egan, who carries the warrant.

A large part of qualifying for the Royal Warrant is being a company that has sustainability at its core, which is something the King believes in very strongly.

“We began the process of formalizing our sustainability strategy as a team, in April 2024, but in reality have been operating sustainably for years without ever having formalized it.

We are committed to design, build and maintain sustainable, fun, safe and adventurous places that inspire the next generation to value and protect our planet. A big part of this is a commitment to leave the areas we work in, slightly better than when we arrived,” said Simon.
