With this year’s first fully vegan contestant making history on Great British Bake off, we are definitely entering a new era of exciting vegan baking! 🍰🧁🍪 Holy Lama Spice Drops brought the flavour with their new online baking contest ‘#bakemevegan’ helping to promote plant based baking and showing how to introduce more in depth, authentic flavour with their wide range of spice drops. Fifteen of the UK’s most up and coming bakers used Spice Drops to bring their bakes to life, with GBBO’s Val Stones as one of the judges selecting the six finalists. A legend in the baking was voted the winner by Holy Lama Spice Drops Instagram followers!

They donned their brightest colourful swimming hats and ‘Bared it for the Bard’ at Shakespeare hospice’s newest charity swimming event! 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏼🏊🏻‍♂️ This sell-out open water swimming challenge took place at the amazing Spot on wake, where swimmers of all abilities could swim a 250 metre loop. This event was raising money for the incredible Shakespeare Hospice, helping families across Warwickshire, in memory of Sharne Phipps. 💜 So far, the event has raised over 8k! Each swimmer received a 24ct Gold Plated Aluminium embossed medal for whatever distance they achieved on the day, because of course, it’s the taking part that counts! Especially when raising money for such a worthy cause. We love to support important events like this in our local community and the wonderful people organising them. #charityevent #shakespearehospice . . . . #openwaterswimming #swimmingevent #charityswimming #fundraising #fundraiser #medal #medals #goldmedal #goldmedals #medalwinning #swimmingmedal #charityevents #supportlocalbusiness #localevent #swimming #wildswimming #wildswimminguk #swimminghat #stratforduponavon #stratforduponavonevents #shakespeare #awards #eventprofsuk #eventprofs #eventplanning #outdoorevents #justkeepswimming #swimmingchallenge

We are really quite taken with this unique award! 🕊 The charming design was created from The School of Air Traffic Control’s emblem, in memory of a beloved teacher at the school. The client chose this image for the award as the wings and crook in the centre symbolise a shepherd looking after those that fly (Air Traffic controllers)! & to also represent their late mentor Mr A. The master of the top piece was hand sculpted and then cast in pewter with a high shine detailed finish on an ash wood and aluminium base.

To survive and live a long healthy life human’s need fuel, that’s where Huel (Human + Fuel) steps in as a healthy meal replacement product that as a business has had substantial growth over the past 5 years. Focusing on their mission for great, convenient and affordable nutrition with minimal impact on animals and the environment! After winning multiple awards for their products we were so pleased to create their very own awards for their employees… Gold plated high shine aluminium luxury columns with their logo emblazoned on the front really do look good enough to eat, although we wouldn’t recommend it! 😂 We also love the personal touch of a secret note to the winners on the bottom of each award – ‘Once a hueligan, always a hueligan’. #huel #hueligan . . . . #brandeddesign #branddesign #bigbrand #winning #winners #human #fuel #fuelyourbody #goldawards #awarddesign #awardstyle #awards #award #eventprofs #eventprofsuk #designlife #designideas #designagency #creativeagency #trophies #trophydesign #bespoketrophies #bespokeawards #bespokedesign #gold #mealreplacement #nutrition #nutritional
We always show awards on here that we’ve created from start to finish but we do also love a glow up!! ⚡️In December, Girls’ Day School Trust contacted us for an upgrade on their existing Public Speaking Competition trophy. This mega crystal was mounted on a very old fashioned wooden base (swipe through to see before) and well, we couldn’t have that!! The beautiful crystal needed a luxurious plinth to elevate it! ✨ We removed it from the base and designed a showstopping polished nickel plated base! Reflections of the crystal are created with the high shine finish of the aluminium and we think it looks absolutely incredible! We are so pleased to say the client is thrilled with it too –‘ It looks AMAZING! Made my day when I opened it this morning. Wow, what a lovely upgrade! Chief Exec and her PA absolutely love it too, it’s great!’ Are you in the market for a sparkling glow up? #crystal #glowup #beforeandafter . . . . #transformation #luxury #after #trophy #allinthedetail #awarddesign #girlsdayschooltrust #bespokedesign #trophydesign #plinth #details #laserengraved #ukmade #trophies #acrylicdesign #crystals #awards #award #instaart #moderndesign #eventprofsuk #crystalsofinstagram #crystalenergy #metalwork #designagency #creativeagency #creativeideas

These Elektra awards designs have evolved over the past 3 years! 🙌🏻 (swipe through to see previous years) One feature remains the same in each, the flash of reflective mirrored acrylic! Each award was made with nickel plated aluminium – the most recent globe artwork was printed directly onto the aluminium with a shard of electric blue mirror acrylic fixed to the front featuring the event logo. This line up is a great way to see how one material can translate into 3 really unique designs!

Good things come in small packages!! 💝 This vibrant yellow acrylic cuboid is compact but full of impact!! 🟡🟨⭐️ The brief came from a specialist property lender who were looking for awards to give to their best clients, in recognition of the partnership for the past year, with the plan to do this year on year. We pantone matched the yellow colour of their own design acrylic cubes with rounded edges. These sunny awards were then despatched individually from us to the winners with other prizes like chocolate and champagne!! 🍾🍫We love to make our service completely bespoke for you! #sunnysideup #bespokeservice . . . . #awards #colourful #cube #cuboid #acrylicdesign #instaart #colourpop #inspireddesign #achievement #inspireawards #awarddesign #trophydesign #award #trophies #awardseason #awardseason2021 #moderndesign #modernawards #uniquedesign #bespokedesign #eventprofs #designagency #creativeagency #eventprofsuk #eventplanners #eventideas #eventawards #eventplanning
