Tower Trophies

Tower Trophies, trophy manufacturer and retailer in Worcestershire

Tower Trophies is a British company dedicated to the manufacture and sale of trophies, medals and awards, with more than four decades of experience. Its online catalogue brings together more than 12,000 items aimed at individuals, clubs and businesses. The company presents itself as the largest trophy manufacturer and retailer in the United Kingdom, a claim that comes from its own corporate communications.

The company was founded over 40 years ago under the iconic gaze of Broadway Tower, from which it derives its corporate logo. Initially established in Broadway (Worcestershire), it grew rapidly and expanded to premises in Evesham, later opening offices and showrooms in Chichester (West Sussex) to serve its growing geographical coverage in southern England. More recently, Tower Trophies moved its headquarters from the town centre to a business park located about ten minutes from Evesham, which has allowed it to expand and optimise its production and storage facilities. The company highlights the easy access and virtually unlimited free parking for its local customers, as well as improvements in technological communications and faster delivery for national and international customers.

Catalogue of trophies and awards

Tower Trophies' offering is organised into several categories. By sport, the catalogue includes football, golf, school, archery, badminton and basketball trophies. By product type, it offers cups and bowls, glass and crystal items, medal cases and ribbons, plaques and shields, salvers and trays, and tankards and hip flasks. The corporate awards section covers bespoke options, black crystal awards, budget crystal, full colour, long service and retirement, achievement, premium crystal, presentation plaques, professional and trade awards, sustainable wood, and wood and crystal combinations. It also sells medals.

In the engraved gifts category, the company offers barware, children's gifts, hip flasks, photo frames, Royal Scot tankards, Royal Scot crystal, awards for fun, personalised drinking glasses, clocks, cufflinks, desk and office items, golf gifts, jewellery boxes, key rings, money boxes, pens, pocket mirrors and hip flasks. The company states that personalisation and VAT are included in the price.

Services and guarantees

Tower Trophies offers a sample service and an easy order service. The company states that every order leaves its premises within four working days or sooner. It also promises to match the lowest price on the web or refund the money plus an additional five pounds. The company highlights that it does not charge the customer until they have received, checked and approved the products, which eliminates the risk of online shopping. This method, according to the company, is recognised by its card service providers as exemplary and prevents bank chargebacks.

The company publishes all customer comments so that the public can form its own opinion. It also has a privilege account programme called Big League Privilege Account™, aimed at customers looking for lower prices. Tower Trophies also offers customer service via live chat and telephone.

History and family structure

Tower Trophies defines itself as a family business. The brand has been driven by siblings in the family, with the father, Ray, who was involved in the early years and continued to collaborate on technical and engineering projects until his death in 2021. Over the decades, several nephews and nieces trained at the company before embarking on their own careers. The matriarch, Ros Wright, owned the first stake in the early businesses when her children were still at school; she passed away on 11 January 2019. The company closed on the day of her funeral, the first time it had closed on a working day in more than forty years.

The company has trained and encouraged numerous employees who have mostly become part of the extended Tower Trophies family. The company has managed to adapt to the changing market and the internet era by distributing some of the best brands in the United Kingdom and creating a simple user experience on its website. Tower Trophies states that its competitors frequently imitate it, which it considers irritating but expected, and maintains that its innovations will continue. In 2023 it launched an improved version of its website, introduced new personalisation options and expanded its product and service offering.

Presence and coverage

Tower Trophies' sales map shows customers throughout the United Kingdom and, increasingly, across continental Europe. The company operates from its headquarters at Blackminster Business Park in Evesham (Worcestershire), and has had offices and showrooms in Chichester (West Sussex). Its catalogue is available online and the company serves both individuals and clubs and businesses.
