Total Merchandise wins industry award for 4th year running

Total Merchandise is delighted to announce that we've won Sourcing City's prestigious Distributor of the Year (£3m+).

The win is all the more special as it marks the fourth consecutive year that we've received the accolade - and it's all thanks to votes from our colleagues from across the promotional merchandise industry.

So while last year marked the hat-trick, this year we can officially say that we have a "haul" of awards courtesy of this important event.

(We can neither confirm nor deny if we Googled "what's the four equivalent of a hat-trick" to discover that it is, in fact, called a "haul"...)

It goes without saying that our founders, Jay, Michelle and Dave are all over the moon to have scooped up the accolade for the fourth year running.

"It means a lot," explains Jay. "It’s such a prestigious award, and from one of the industry’s leading voices. It’s a stellar line-up of winners this year and we are glad to be among these giants."

Dave, Michelle and Jay with Total Merchandise's very first Sourcing City Distributor of the Year award back in 2019.

Dave agrees, adding: "I'm honestly blown away to win this for the fourth time in a row". 

The directors put the win down to the team behind the business. Says Michelle: "This is a celebration of our staff as much as it is of the business as a whole. It’s a testament to their incredible hard work and the relationships they’ve built across the industry".

It goes without saying that 2022 has been a whirlwind 12 months for team TM, not least because we celebrated our 18th birthday back in September. With a new year in sight, we're excited for everything that 2023 has to bring - so watch this space! Some very exciting things are on the horizon...
