Total Merchandise wins BPMA award

We have some very big news to share… Total Merchandise has been named Distributor of the Year (10m+) at the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) Annual Awards in Coventry, and we could not be prouder.

This is not just any award. It is widely regarded as the top honour in the UK promotional merchandise industry and, even better, it is voted for by the suppliers we work with day in, day out. To be recognised by the people behind the products we sell makes this win even more meaningful.

Our Managing Director, Jason O'Connor, summed it up perfectly:

“This award is incredibly special because it comes directly from our supplier partners. It reflects the relationships we have built, the way we work, and the standards our whole team holds themselves to every day. I could not be prouder of what the Total Merchandise team has achieved.”

And he is absolutely right. Awards like this do not happen by accident. They are the result of a huge amount of hard work, care, and commitment from every single person in the business. From sales and marketing to artwork, customer service, and operations, everyone plays a part in delivering the experience our customers expect.

We also want to say a massive thank you to our customers and partners. Your trust, feedback, and long-term relationships push us to keep improving and to keep raising the bar.

Winning Distributor of the Year is a moment we will remember for a long time, but it is also great motivation for what comes next. We are excited to keep building, innovating, and delivering brilliant branded merchandise in 2026 and beyond.
