From time to time the Special EFX team likes to hit the town in style – this time it was West Ham United’s end of season gala dinner, held at the Hilton Park Lane, May 4th.  It was a truly glitzy evening organised by Birchwood Events - entertainment by X Factor finalist Stacey Solomon and James Cordon (just hilarious), rubbing shoulders with the players (hard to recognise in suits)… BUT the pinnacle of the evening had to be the awards – designed and made by Special EFX naturally!

The Grand Designs Awards at Excel, hosted by the ever suave Kevin McCloud, was the cool place to be, for those Designers aspiring to glory and recognition for their original ideas, innovation and eye for aesthetics. Designing and making the awards, for this gathering of the UK's Design elite, was undertaken for the 3rd year running by Special EFX using dazzling, polished and pierced aluminium, which sparkled amongst the celebrity judges and flash-lights of the evening.

Metris Kitchens went home particularly happy: “As the winner of the Grand Designs best kitchen 2010 we were delighted to receive the impressive metallic award. It combines a striking design with outstanding quality, and has already attracted many compliments. It currently has pride of place on our reception”.

The unique and heady combination of beautiful, celebrity-seeking women, who demonstrate outstanding business acumen, came together on a catwalk at The Jalouse Club, Hanover Square on Thursday 29th April at The City’s Top Model Entrepreneur competition.

 As manufacturers of the awards, Special EFX was invited, and saw Charlotte Edwards, the ultimate winner for her hand-bag design service, stun the judges with her looks and then amaze Richard Farleigh of Dragon’s Den fame with an eloquent business pitch.  Watch out for the anticipated TV series.

The annual Exhibition Awards have, once again, recognised the cream of the exhibition industry, in terms of design, style and venue.  For the fourth year in a row, Special EFX has made these iconic, sail-shaped, pewter awards, which, interestingly are so sought after that they have become collectors’ items in their own right.
Taste of London won 2 categories and Excel London 3! View all the winners here

Customers are often amazed when they visit the Special EFX design studio and factory, for the Ettington Park Business Centre is in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, with verdant fields all around. 

On the one hand EFX has global clients, such as Google, and makes awards for international celebrities, such as Lewis Hamilton, and on the other hand the company is an integral part of local life, employing local people and supporting community projects. 

And so, Melanie, Sales Director at EFX, was delighted to present the company’s Star awards to the newly crowned May King and Queen of neighbouring village of Newbold on Stour.
