Award Engravers went above and beyond what I was hoping for and even did a 2 day turn around for me. Thank you so much. This is what all NZ businesses should strive to be like.

Just want to say a huge thank you to Award Engravers for the plastic dog tags I purchased. I am so happy with the look of them and their quality. They sit lovely against their other rego tags and we no longer have the rackety jangle of their old metal tags. I was also super impressed with the speed at which Award Engravers contacted me and the lollies in the bag were a welcomed surprise! I have recommended Award Engravers to all my friends with dogs.

We purchased a designer pet tag from Award Engravers a year ago for our cat Holly and it's been fantastic. No wear on it at all and still as vibrant as first day so now want one for my husband's dog Levi and my cat Lexie.

Julie Anderson

I asked Linley to do a medal for our family Patriarch and Matriarch. Very very pleased with the results. Linley was able to use a very old photo as background so it is much more personal. Great communication and service with very quick delivery. Thank you, they will be around for a very long time.

We have used Award Engravers for all our engraving and trophy work since Linley started her business and have found her very friendly as well as being extremely quick and efficient in meeting our requirements and deadlines.

I recently had the pleasure of Linley constructing a trophy which was not the norm. She managed to decipher all my emails and delivered a professional looking trophy completed to a high standard. With the added bonus of an insert being made from a file we sent. It was a great pleasure made easy with fast responses to emails, highly recommend to others.

Linley has engraved our trophies for several years now. Her service is always extremely efficient; often having the job completed by the following day. We’d highly recommend using Award Engravers for engraving.

I wish to express my thanks for your efficiency and accuracy of producing the trophy as required including the urgent deadline.

David Pike

WOW!! I cannot thank you enough for the trophy that was done for our family tennis day. It was made to specifications and your business was really accommodating to ensure I had the product I desired. The communication was friendly, prompt and so easy to correspond. The turnaround was fast and the product was packaged extremely well. THANK YOU. No hesitation to do business with you again.

Rangiwahia Osborne

I would happily recommend Award Engravers. When NCMA used Award Engravers to create sponsor plaques for all our seats in the Auditorium, Linley was extremely efficient and timely in response to my initial questions. She has an eye for detail, so dealing with 300 plaques in one go wasn’t an issue and she completed the job to meet the deadline and to a very good standard.
