Sustainability Ethics Fairness Social impact

The Regency Chess Company takes sustainability very seriously and aims to operate a highly ethical and sustainable business that exhibits real integrity in the world. The way we treat our staff, suppliers, the environment and our customers all reflect the values we hold dear.

“I wanted to set up a business that imported, marketed and sold products with real integrity, solid crafted sets that will outlast us and even our customers. It felt like I was surrounded by businesses importing container loads of mass-produced nonsense that would be in landfill within less than a decade, I wanted to make a difference and leave a lasting heritage of high quality, sustainable products in people’s hands”
