Personalised Wooden Trophies and Medals: A Better Alternative to Plastic Awards

There is a familiar trajectory for most trophies. They sit on a shelf for a month, get moved to a drawer, and eventually find their way to a charity shop or the bin. The problem is not the sentiment — it is the object. A cheap plastic cup or resin figurine does not feel like something worth keeping.

Wooden awards are different. Laser-engraved oak has a weight and warmth to it that plastic simply cannot replicate. People keep them on desks, display them on shelves at home, and — crucially — remember where they came from.

What we make

Our personalised wooden awards include:

• Wooden medals — available in round and star shapes, suitable for any sport or achievement. Engraved with the recipient's name, event, and date. Used by tennis clubs, running events, school sports days, and swimming galas.
• School achievement medals — star-shaped oak medals for academic and attendance awards, handwriting prizes, and end-of-year recognition.
• Sailing trophies — engraved oak sailing awards for club championships and regattas.
• Personalised oak trophies — freestanding engraved oak pieces suitable for corporate awards, business recognition, and event prizes.

Who orders wooden awards?

Our awards are used by a wide range of organisations:

• Sports clubs — from local grassroots to regional competitions
• Schools and academies — end of term, sports day, and achievement awards
• Corporate events — employee recognition, sales awards, long service
• Community organisations — volunteer recognition, local competitions
• Event organisers — marathon and running events, charity fundraisers, quiz nights

Ordering in bulk

Most awards events require multiples. Our bulk pricing scales from single pieces through to orders of 50 or more, and we can work from a spreadsheet of names and details for large orders. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 working days; for events with a fixed date, contact us in advance and we will confirm what is achievable.

A sustainable choice

Our oak veneered MDF is sourced responsibly, and wooden awards have a far longer useful life than plastic alternatives. For organisations that take their environmental commitments seriously, switching to wooden awards is a visible and meaningful change.
