Inkerman was founded in Notting Hill Gate, London in 1996 and is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year.  Scroll down to find out more about our 30 years in business.

We provide luxury gifts, trophies and awards to customers and business clients working closely with customers to provide top end products with an exceptional level of service.  

• Bespoke and luxury presents for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, christenings and thank yous.
• Trophies, awards and medals for the sporting and events sector.
• Gifts for corporate events, retirements, dinners and anniversaries.
• Bespoke and luxury gifts for schools, charities and the Armed Forces.
• Gifts for associated members clubs.
• Wholesale to retail outlets.

We are highly respected trophy makers, working with some of the most famous sporting events, sponsors and venues throughout the world.  We work with each client to produce initial trophy drawings and our craftsmen produce the highest quality pieces from these designs, and are skilled at replica trophy making and restoration.

We passionately support British manufacture and work with the most skilled and established British craftsmen including silversmiths, leathersmiths, pewterers, glassmakers, box makers, engravers and etchers, many with whom we’ve worked with since 1996, making many of our products exclusive to Inkerman.  We now have our own in house etching and laser machines increasing our ability to make bespoke pieces.

Through the schools programme we design and produce gifts for leavers and alumni, retiring teachers and governors, mementoes and end of term thank you gifts.

This year our chosen charities are The Ruth Strauss Foundation, Tusk and Racing Welfare for whom we have made a range of bespoke products and we donate a percentage of sales back to each charity.   This year we are supporting the ECB with a trophy for the Disability Premier League.

We are a team of twelve in the office and work closely with each other to offer our extremely high standard of customer service.  We are perfectionists and are extremely knowledgeable with many years of experience in the trophy, award and gifting market - nothing is too much trouble and we often exceed our customer’s expectations.

Inkerman support people returning to the workplace and 70% of Inkerman staff are working parents, working flexible hours.  Since our early beginnings we have offered work experience to over 50 young people and we often employ entry level students without degrees.

History

Founded in 1996 by Louise Eadie and Kiki Grigson, (ex Tiffany & Co) both held a wealth of knowledge of the luxury gift market and saw an opportunity for a new British brand offering high quality, British gifts, trophies and awards.  Having started primarily working with corporate clients it wasn’t long before Inkerman had a strong private following and the company evolved into a well known brand for luxury Gifts,  Trophies and Awards.

Celebrating 30 Years of Inkerman

This year marks a significant milestone for Inkerman as we proudly celebrate our 30th anniversary. Over the past three decades, Inkerman has become a trusted name for exceptional gifts, trophies, and awards, built on enduring relationships, shared values, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Built on Relationships and Loyalty

From our earliest days, Inkerman has been defined by the strength of our customer relationships. Many of our clients have been with us for years—and in some cases, decades—returning to us time and again. Their loyalty, trust, and continued support have been instrumental in shaping our journey, and we are sincerely grateful to everyone who has chosen to work with Inkerman.

We believe that great service is about understanding our clients, anticipating their needs, and delivering consistently high standards. It is this personal, long-term approach that has enabled us to grow while maintaining the values that matter most.

Celebrating Iconic Trophies and Awards

Over the last 30 years, Inkerman has had the privilege of creating a wide range of prestigious and high-profile trophies and awards. From sporting competitions and corporate achievements to commemorative and ceremonial pieces, our work has celebrated excellence across many fields.

Each trophy we create tells a story—of achievement, dedication, and success. Many of our designs have become instantly recognisable, crafted with precision, heritage materials, and exceptional attention to detail. Whether a one-off bespoke commission or an enduring annual award, our trophies are designed to be treasured for generations.

Our experience working with prestigious organisations and discerning clients has reinforced our reputation for craftsmanship, reliability, and creative excellence.

Supporting British Craftsmanship and Manufacturing

A cornerstone of Inkerman’s success has always been our commitment to supporting British craftsmanship and manufacturing. We work closely with skilled makers and specialist suppliers across the UK, helping to preserve traditional skills while embracing innovation where it enhances quality.

By championing British manufacturing, we ensure every piece reflects authenticity, integrity, and lasting value—qualities that resonate strongly with our clients and define the Inkerman name.

A Personal Approach to Quality Gifting

At Inkerman, no two projects are ever the same. We take pride in our personal approach, offering expert guidance and bespoke solutions tailored to each client and occasion. From luxury gifts and corporate awards to sporting trophies and presentation pieces, quality and attention to detail are never compromised.

Our aim is simple: to create meaningful, beautifully crafted pieces that leave a lasting impression.

Looking Ahead – Join Us in Celebrating

As we celebrate 30 years of Inkerman, we do so with immense pride in what we have achieved and excitement for what lies ahead. We remain committed to nurturing our client relationships, supporting British craftsmanship, and delivering outstanding gifts, trophies, and awards with the same passion that has guided us from the start.

If you are looking to commission a bespoke trophy, source exceptional corporate gifts, or mark a special achievement, we would love to work with you. Join us as we celebrate this milestone year—and let Inkerman help you create something truly memorable.

I’m delighted, as well as a little surprised, to be celebrating 30 years of Inkerman; and what a 30 years it has been that’s the shortest 30 years ever!  I’m most proud of upholding our original values by still offering outstanding levels of product and personal service and sticking to our guns and using British craftsmen and workshops when so many others are going overseas.    The Inkerman red box, chosen on a whim, without pantone references or design agency has ended up around the world and found it’s place as a brand offering well designed,  sensibly priced and bespoke products both for the private shopper and the corporate market.
