Original Trophy Making & Precision Replicas
Within our trophy department, our expertise encompasses both original trophy making and the meticulous crafting of scale replicas:
Original Commissions: We work closely with design agencies, sport’s governing bodies, and private clients to take original trophy making from initial scale drawings and casting to final soldering, plating, and finishing.
Replica Trophies: To preserve historic original awards or accommodate winning teams and sponsors, we manufacture authentic full-scale or reduced-scale replicas. Every replica is meticulously crafted with strict authorisation from the respective rights holders or governing bodies.

Many of the clients who commission our trophies request full confidentiality as part of their contract, which we strictly respect and uphold. For this reason, our showcase features only a selection of iconic trophies that we have direct permission to display.
