About Award Signs and Business Gifts

Award Signs and Business Gifts was started in 1998 by our MD Steven Ward, initially as a sole trader working from home and covering everything from sales and production right through to invoicing and accounts.

The limited company was formed in 2006 when we moved into premises and has grown steadily since. We made a conscious decision to always invest in the most efficient software and systems, which has enabled us to remain a small company and give a very hands-on personal service, yet, able to take on complex orders that are distributed globally.

Our clients trust us to deliver a hassle-free service. We make it our business to ensure complete satisfaction from enquiry to delivery.

We pride ourselves on going that extra mile to make every clients’ promotion or event a success, retaining the integrity of their brand and adding value every step of the way.

What Our Clients Say

  • We are very happy with Award. The service level and quality of the items is outstanding. The detailed quote and artwork was clear and easy for me to show our clients and get the sign-off for the order quickly. Upon receiving the items they exceeded expectations and our client will be ordering more.

  • From initial design and quotation through to delivery; everything was perfect. Thank you for your attention with my order.

    A. HeywoodDilworth & Morris
  • We ordered some umbrellas in the middle of Covid and Brexit issues. The first delivery was light, but only because Award had done their quality checks. This meant a re-order and whilst delayed you could see Award were all over the order to ensure we got what we ordered. Thanks.
