For kids dancing competitions, anyone a supplier/ can recommend one? Billions out there, incredibly hard to distinguish between this wild west charging from £3-23 for what pretty much looks like the same thing.

General format is 1st- 4th trophies for individual events, 13-20cm high plastic tat on a small marble base usually with some sort of mild personalisation (small engraved thing on the base probably),

1st-4th groups, plus medals for up to 20 at a time which needs to look not Poundland, so weighty, nice customised ribbon,

Then an assortment of other awards while trying not to make them look like Nigel in sales has met his targets this quarter.

Anyone in the game? Order size would be pretty significant and 2-3 x per year.

It’s the personalization that costs the money

Yes, thank you, I am aware of this.

What I'm not aware of is if there's a PHer in the game who may be interested in an order, or someone who has received great service and can recommend a supplier, given there are so many of them, and mine is retiring this summer, with the business closing.

A friend works at JS Trophies www.trophysales.co.uk/

My motorsport club gets theirs from Aford Awards www.afordawards.co.uk

A friend runs running events, and he gets his medals from China, as he wants up to 5000 of them for each event.

I've used Direct Source for a few years now https://www.directsourceuk.com/

Never had any issues, prices are good (especially decent quality medals at under £1 each) and they always get the orders out in good time when I invariably leave it til the last minute....

Excellent, I recognise much of their tat! God awful really, but it's what people want!
