Total Merchandise Wins BRIMAN Award For Second Year

We're proud to announce that Total Merchandise has won the prestigious BRIMAN award for the second consecutive year.

This important accolade, issued at the British Promotional Merchandise Association's annual awards in Coventry last week (January 22nd), is in acknowledgement of our continued support of British-made promotional products

Needless to say, we were absolutely blown away to have been crowned the recipients of BRIMAN for the second consecutive year, as voted for by the members of the BRIMAN (British manufacturing) group.

We pride ourselves on educating both our customers and our staff on the benefits of UK-made merch, and over the last 12 months have done everything from hosting an educational workshop at our HQ to providing more detailed information on our product listings, including the precise UK locations in which these items were manufactured.

As mentioned, we received our accolade at the BPMA Awards, where we also made it as a finalist in the hotly-contended Distributor of the Year £10m+ category. This came just a few weeks after we won Promotional Merchandise Distributor of the Year 2024 in the Sourcing City Awards - so it goes without saying that our team are feeling pretty proud right now. 

🇬🇧 What Does The BRIMAN Award Mean?

The BRIMAN group has a number of members across the promotional merchandise industry, with the involved companies specialising in everything from drinkware and seeds to keyrings and edible gifts. 

There are a number of reasons to consider choosing UK-made promotional products for your business. These include boosting the UK economy, lowering the carbon footprint due to the removal of air travel and supporting local industry. 

And what's not to like about all that?

Total Merchandise 20th birthday party

All in all, it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the Total Merchandise team. As well as attending Merchandise World and the BPMA Awards, we also hosted Total Merchandise Expo 2025 - attended by hundreds of customers - and held our glittering 20th birthday party. (The sneakiest of sneak peeks from our party is above - but more on that later!)
