EFX Awards (Special EFX Ltd)

EFX have provided the trophies for my awards for a number of years now. Shelley and the team always provide top customer service and offer creative solutions to produce trophies of excellent quality, often within very tight deadlines!

We have used EFX Awards a couple of times now and on both occasions they delivered with excellent results. Sophie, who dealt with our request gave us plenty of options to suit our needs but ultimately left us to decide on the awards needed. There was never any issue or problem when we asked for things to be changed just before the engraving, and the final results were delivered quicker than anticipated with superb results. Will definitely use again.

Fantastic quality awards and always a brilliant service as well - we have used EFX for years and they never disappoint.

Excellent product and really helpful staff.

Carla and the team have been fantastic in working with us on tight deadlines and delivering high quality. All of our recipients have commented on the high quality nature of the awards.

EFX have been a great partner in realising our design concept for the Food Matters Live Award. From the initial enquiry through to prototyping and delivery, we got a great sense of their commitment to creating an award trophy that is faithful to the design intent...We love the result, as does our client and the winners who received them on the day

We are delighted with the outcome and we are very proud of our trophies. Having worked with the commercial and design team at EFX, I could not have wished for a more friendly and attentive team. Throughout the design process, which was many iterations, the team took comments on board and evolved our brief to what I can only describe as outstanding!

I am over the moon with the finished trophy. It is everything we wanted: original, distinctive and hopefully something that the drivers will always appreciate winning.

The medals are outstanding and represent the attention to detail, care and technical expertise that are associated with the profession of civil engineering

We were delighted with our trophies. The finished article surpassed our expectations, and certainly gained considerable prestige at our awards ceremony. Thank you EFX.

It was crucial that the trophies we presented were crafted with skill and quality materials. We wanted our winners to have something they could treasure for years and for the trophy to be something that was instantly recognisable throughout the Automotive Aftermarket. The design of the trophy went down fantastically well, the winners were absolutely ecstatic when their name were called out and they received their award.

“We wanted to encompass the ethos of craftsmanship in the design and to honour the winners with an award that was heavily crafted and weighted to reflect its worth. We were recommended Special EFX as a manufacturer who would work closely with us to achieve the ultimate and embrace our high expectations”. The production challenge was how to create a ghost-like body for the arrow, whilst still ensuring visual impact, which was solved by EFX with acrylic encapsulation. Katie was impressed: “Working with Sophie and the EFX team was a dream – they pre-empted our every need and reached solutions before we had even posed the question”.

The Awards is a major event for the CIWM, which this year was supported by over 400 people from across the industry. The gala event endorses the CIWM’s privileged position as the voice of the industry and the beautifully crafted glass awards have become highly valued and help to maintain the CIWM’s profile and brand recognition.

“Another year, another successful RAD Awards (www.radawards.com). With so many elements to the event it’s good to know that I don’t have to worry about the trophies. Special EFX are excellent at giving me a ‘nudge’ to remind me of deadlines and so everything is produced and dispatched in a timely manner. As in previous years the trophies were waiting for us by the stage in the Grosvenor House. No stress, all perfect.”

“I found working with EFX a real joy! Their range of trophies is superb and the speed of service and attention to detail is second to none. We wanted a trophy that wowed the winner, the audience and the industry and we certainly achieved that with the CUBIX, as the trophy was handed to the winner you could see the winner mouth ‘WOW it’s not plastic’. We have had requests from winners who would like to purchase additional trophies to display around their business: a decision motivated by the sheer quality and elegance of the trophy.”

"The International Opera Awards sees the leading lights of the global opera scene come together to celebrate their artistic success. Since 2013 EFX have produced beautiful trophies for our winners and we are delighted that these pieces now sit in opera houses all over the world".

“EFX have been exceptional, the trophies certainly are original and we love the treatment of the Lion – just perfect for the occasion”.

“The awards really enhanced the event experience for our clients, we were very pleased with them and they are a great asset to our Elite events”.

“I was really happy with the designs and the finished trophies, which looked so good on the night. We would totally recommend EFX and I'm sure we'll be back again next year for design of our 2015 trophies.”

“Autocar were very excited and proud to present the newly formed Autocar Stars Awards. To celebrate these highly acclaimed awards Autocar commissioned EFX to produce some truly stunning trophies. The Issigonis and Sturmey trophies were fabulous examples of what can be achieved using a 3D effect in polished crystal. Our 5 Star Silver trophies were again stunning and represented our brand perfectly.“

"We wanted a trophy that reflects the logo, but in a dynamic and less literal style. It's lazy just to simply recreate an Awards' logo as a trophy. A different approach is needed for bespoke awards and that's where Special EFX comes into its own. A small creative step sideways produced a sophisticated design, artistic in its appeal and worthy of the winners."

"The trophies for this year's Awards went down a storm. We wanted something impactful, iconic and stylish – and EFX certainly delivered. The Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink Awards deserve stand-out awards trophies that are instantly recognisable and we really feel we have achieved that now. I'm sure they'll be used for years to come".

“The awards look great every year – but this year they looked particularly good. The cut-outs of the crown logo were immaculate and coupled with the gold base they looked really beautiful”.

When Phab, the hair and beauty standard, was setting up, it turned to EFX for its recognition trophies, engraved membership cards and personalised certificates: “Melanie and her team are a blinding example of what customer service is all about and how it can define your business – nothing was too much trouble for them, and the acclamations we have received regarding the stunning awards are the perfect endorsement.”

“EFX, as always, were a joy to work with for the TV Choice Awards. Highly efficient, thorough and committed, they always produce stunning awards for each of our award productions”
