Personalise your plaque with a motif

Why not go the extra mile and add a motif or logo to your engraved plaque. This service is available only upon request and will reduce the amount of words you can fit onto the plaque so we recommend the larger plaques for this purpose.

We have a variety of simple images that can be added to the plaque, for anything bespoke, such as a company logo, please send us the image and we will see what we can do!
