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’ve got the best crowd here. It’s a dream to win in front of them all” – Lewis Hamilton 8th British Grand Prix Winner. With an audience of 365,000 at Silverstone racetrack, racegoers were treated to an exceptional sporting event which saw Lewis Hamilton win the Grand Prix on home soil for the 8th time!

The outline was created from black anodised aluminium with a high shine British flag reflecting through from the back, in a mix of 18ct rose gold plated, nickel plated, and 24ct gold plated aluminium to represent the podium placings – Bronze, Silver & Gold. We are so proud to create awards for incredible events like these.

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!
