a total retail solution
with a personal approach

The Gift Scholars Ltd. was founded with the aim of designing and producing quality giftware, textiles & toys for retail stores in the tourism, leisure & sport industries at an affordable price.

Revolutionising Retail

Having seen retailers pay high prices for unimaginative, poor quality products, we wanted to take a different approach.

At The Gift Scholars we offer a solution which sets us apart from other suppliers:

Product concept & design through to delivery & point of sale display.

Unique designs with bespoke options for every customer.

Low minimum order quantities.

Competitive pricing without a compromise on quality.

Both off the shelf and entirely bespoke products.

A successful licensed portfolio.

We believe our rapid growth since our founding in 2015 is a direct result of the energy & passion shown by everyone at the company.

We are fully engaged in every stage of the process, & take pride in the relationships we are building with our customers.

We work closely with our factories to ensure that the end product is received exactly as the buyer expects, & in many cases exceeding expectations.

TESTIMONIALS

" I can't recommend John and the team at The Gift Scholars highly enough. Every step of the process—from initial consultation to final delivery—is smooth, professional, and efficient. Communication is always clear, and they're incredibly easy to work with when tailoring the perfect product range.

Their selection is both diverse and high-quality, making them a go-to partner for a variety of different products."

MEET THE DIRECTORS

CHRIS ROGERS

MANAGING DIRECTOR

JOHN BATES

SALES DIRECTOR

John's interest in sales began at an early age when running his own market stall, his enjoyment came from interacting and building relationships with his customers. The same applies today in his role leading the sales team at The Gift Scholars. John has an astounding knowledge of animals, football & cars so is always the first in line with new product and development ideas.

MARK BYRD

FINANCE DIRECTOR

Mark studied accounting and management at The University of Cardiff. Along with his experience working in a busy logistics firm and running his own online retail business, he is brilliantly placed to manage the company's finances. When he's not in the office (which isn't often) he is usually found on the golf course.

Chris has worked in the retail sector for over 20 years with roles including purchasing, merchandising and account management. Here at The Gift Scholars he combines everything he has learnt over the years by having an active input into every area of the business. Chris is passionate about the environmental impact of the company and is the driving force behind our eco-friendly ethos.
