Corporate gifting has a short shelf life. Branded pens are lost, hampers are eaten and desk toys are quietly binned. A personalised end-grain chopping board is one of the few business gifts that ends up in daily use in the recipient’s home — and because our branding is inlaid in solid American walnut rather than printed or laser-etched onto the surface, it stays legible for the life of the board.
Client gifts that get used
For thanking a client at the end of a project, or marking a renewal or a completed deal, a maple board carries a weight that a voucher does not. It is substantial in the hand, it looks considered, and it sits on a kitchen counter rather than in a drawer. We can inlay your company mark, the client’s own name, or both — a discreet way to keep your brand present in someone’s home without it feeling like advertising.
Long service and staff recognition
Retirement, long service and leaving gifts are the occasions where a generic award fails hardest. An engraved board recording years of service, a team message or a date is a keepsake that stays useful. Because each board is made to order, individual pieces within a batch can carry different names or dates without any loss of consistency in the overall design.
Events, launches and hospitality suites
Branded boards also work as serving pieces at corporate events, showrooms, hospitality suites and staff kitchens. The light maple surface photographs well and gives food and drink a natural, premium backdrop — useful when the event is being documented for social media or press.
Volume orders and lead times
We handle both one-off commissions and repeat production runs. Larger orders need more notice, particularly in the run-up to Christmas, so we recommend getting in touch several weeks ahead of the date you need the boards delivered. We are happy to send a sample board with your inlay before you commit to a full run, and we can quote for boxed presentation and delivery direct to individual recipients.
Materials and sizes
All boards are handcrafted in the UK from FSC-certified North American maple and American walnut. Our standard sizes cover most requirements, but bespoke dimensions are available where a specific footprint is needed — for a counter, a serving station or a particular presentation box.
