Aspire achieves royal warrant milestone

A North East-based technology company has secured one of the UK’s most prestigious business accolades. 

Gateshead-headquartered Aspire Technology Solutions has been awarded a royal warrant in recognition of its services to the Royal Household – making it one of only 16 companies in the region to hold this honour. 

The warrant is granted to firms that have supplied goods or services to the Royal Family over several years with consistently high standards.

Chris Fraser, chief executive of Aspire Technology Solutions, said: “Being awarded a royal warrant by His Majesty is a very proud moment for Aspire. 

“It marks a significant point in our journey and speaks to the standards we’ve maintained as we’ve grown. 

“As organisations embrace modern, cloud-first infrastructure and face growing cyber security demands, we remain focused on shaping what future-ready technology looks like. 

“This recognition reinforces the trust our customers place in us and reflects the innovation and ambition that continue to drive us forward.” 

Aspire’s achievement follows significant growth, including two acquisitions in Glasgow and Leeds over the past 18 months. 

Backed by private equity partner LDC, the firm now supports more than 2000 organisations nationwide with managed IT, cloud, cyber security and workplace solutions.

Steve Laverick, technical director at Aspire and Warrant Grantee, added: “Delivering secure, high-performance technology solutions takes deep expertise and a relentless focus on quality. 

“The royal warrant is a powerful validation of the standards our teams uphold every day. 

“It’s an honour and privilege to receive the royal warrant after personally working with The Royal Household for over 20 years, and equally, it’s a real milestone for everyone at Aspire as it reflects the trust our customers place in us to deliver consistently at the highest level.”
