Celebrating 40 Years in Business!
- 1 min reading time
Last Friday, we marked a very special milestone - 40 years of Ad-Options Ltd, proudly trading as BusinessGiftUK.com (the parent brand of BlankKeyrings.co.uk!)
What began back in 1985 has grown into four decades of helping businesses stay memorable through creative, high-quality promotional gifts. And what better way to celebrate than with friends, family, suppliers, and customers who’ve been part of the journey!
The Venue & Hosts
The celebration took place at Worden Hall, Worden Park, where we enjoyed a fantastic buffet lunch. Hosting the day were Steve Ward, alongside his wife Ann, son Ben, and our very own superstar sales manager Nicola Hutchinson.
Entertainment with a Twist
A highlight of the day was Lee Petts from Fifty2M bringing along his “Guess how many balls fit into the boot of my car?” challenge. Safe to say, it got plenty of people scratching their heads!
Suppliers, Customers & Community
It was wonderful to be joined by some of our long-standing suppliers and customers, many of whom have been with us for years. These relationships have been at the heart of our success, and we’re grateful for the support, trust, and friendship that’s carried us through four decades.
Food, Fun & Fundraising
The buffet lunch went down a treat, and of course, no celebration is complete without a raffle! We held one in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice, raising funds for an incredible cause. Prizes included a golf day, prosecco, chocolates, and plenty of other goodies - generously donated and warmly received.
Looking Ahead
As we look back on 40 years in business, we’re proud of our journey and excited for the future. The world of promotional gifts has evolved massively since 1985, but one thing has stayed the same: our commitment to helping businesses make a lasting impression.
Here’s to the next chapter - and many more years of creativity, collaboration, and memorable gifts.
