About Medaeo

Our Story

MEDAEO initially began as a separate strand of our sister company, Signet, which specialises in bespoke product embellishments chiefly aimed at the luxury food and drinks market. We noticed more and more enquiries coming from tourist and entertainment business looking for giveaways and rewards that were of a higher quality, and made bespoke so they could offer their customers something a bit different.

We knew that with our experience in luxury markets, we could offer them what they needed – premium freebies that make a big impression on the customer, without costing the earth. And because we didn’t want to cost the actual earth either, we pledged to develop a range of giveaway products that would also be kind to the planet.

Thus, MEDAEO was born!

We’re MEDAEO. We believe in making every day an excellent one – so much so, that we put it in our name! MEDAEO is a specialist supplier of high quality promotional rewards, giveaways and souvenirs, to entertainment and tourist businesses all over the world. We produce medallions, badges, lanyards, wristbands, coins and other bespoke promotional items.

We believe we are the most innovative UK business in our field. We are totally committed to innovation and plugged into emerging trends and technologies, which enables us to put our customers at the forefront of new product development, keeping them one step ahead of the competition. We are delighted to partner with household names such as Legoland, Cadbury’s, Sea Life Aquariums, British Heart Foundation, Madame Tussauds, National Trust and many more.

We also work hard to make it super simple for customers to order with MEDAEO.
