Personalised Plaques That Pop: 3 Custom Designs Crafted in the UK

Investors in People approached Gaudio Awards back in 2010 to create a robust plaque that could be easily replicated and personalised, whilst still looking exceptional. Since then, our custom accredited plaques have been awarded to thousands of workplaces across the UK.

We crafted a clever dual-layer aluminium design, with the vibrant anodised colour signifying each award level: blue, silver, gold, and platinum. The brand laurel was cut through the top layer to reveal a contrasting texture beneath. As the plaques need to be distributed globally, we also developed a dedicated online platform. Organisations simply enter their details into the system, which feeds directly into our production line – making it easy to generate prestigious, individually personalised plaques on demand.

Founded in 1518, The Royal College of Physicians is one of the UK’s most prestigious and historic institutions. They challenged us to craft elegant and timeless plaques that would sit proudly within the college’s traditional surroundings. 

Within this dual-layered design, we used gold anodised aluminium as the base, engraved with a subtle pattern that nods to the organisation’s rich heritage. Anodising the aluminium gives it exceptional durability, ensuring the metal won’t fade or flake over time. We then applied a reverse-printed acrylic panel to protect the visuals, making these custom engraved plaques perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
