COVID 19 Update 23rd March
Covid-19 – we are always here to help you20th March 2020 The UK Chief Medical Officers have recently raised the risk to the public from moderate to high It has left many wondering how to keep up contact with their customers and prevent their sales pipeline from becoming as empty as the toilet roll shelves We are sure that many of you are struggling with the current crisis and we wanted you to know that we will do all we can to help There are clearly no short term fixes and we are all going to have to get used to new working practices What are Impamark doing about it?
Our staff have always had the ability to work remotely. With two offices in two different countries we have always been well prepared for this type of eventuality Social distancing is forcing people to look at how they can now market their products and services in new and novel ways.

Councils and other public services still need to communicate with the public, particularly with the elderly who may have no internet connection We are working hard with our suppliers to think of new products, ideas, and methods for the changing times and will be providing information in due course Keep safe and wellNicky Crisp Managing Director |
Impamark Christmas Shutdown 2019
 |
 |
Impamark Christmas Shutdown 2019Impamark will be closed Friday 20th December from 1.00 p.m. and reopening Thursday 2nd January at 9.00 a.m. |
 As 2019 draws to a close we reflect on what has been for Impamark a momentous year.
2019 has been the 50th Anniversary of Impamark as a family run business. Currently located at Dammerwick Farm in Burnham on Crouch, the company moved their operations to the town in 1975, and have since been providing promotional products to a wide ranging and prestigious client list. I took over running the company back in 2006 on the retirement of my parents. |
 In November, Impamark were extremely honoured to win the ACL (Adult Community Learning) Essex) Employer of the Year Award for 2019 – what better way to round off celebrations in our 50th Anniversary year as a family business!We have been working with ACL for several years and we have now partnered with them to train two apprentices. Last year our apprentice Holly was awarded Apprentice of the Year whilst studying for her level 2 NVQ in Business and Administration, and this year she has been awarded Highly Commended for her level 3 NVQ. Impamark are immensely proud of her achievements, both with ACL and her other professional qualifications which she has passed in the 2 years she has been working for us, including her TPM (Trained in Promotional Merchandise) qualification. |
 We operate from two bases, the first being in Essex, and for the past 12 years the second being in Spain. The staff all met in Spain in June for our 50th Anniversary celebrations and this is continuing with a further Christmas get together in Spain in December where we will all be attempting to extract ourselves from the ‘Sherlock Holmes versus Moriarty’ escape room!I believe that the reason for the company’s success is down to our great teamwork, extremely high level of customer care, and attention to detail. We have a great team, both in UK and Spain, with a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. I would like to thank our fantastic supplier base and loyal clients, many of whom we have worked with consistently for over 30 years, and look forward to working together for many years to come! |
 We would like to remind you all that Chinese New Year, (CNY) is 25th January which will mean that orders for delivery pre CNY will need to be placed before 20th December. Any ordered placed in December or early January will be delivered in March. In addition to this, we still do not know the effect of Brexit on the industry. Therefore, we strongly advise everyone to place orders in December and early January for events and requirements occurring in early 2020. |
On behalf of the Impamark team I would like to thank you for your continued support throughout 2019 and wish you a very Happy Christmas and Healthy & Prosperous New Year!
Nicky & the Team |

50th Anniversary for Essex based family run business
| 2019 sees the 50th Anniversary of Impamark as a family run business. Currently located at Dammerwick Farm in Burnham on Crouch, this award winning merchandise company moved their operations to the town in 1975, and have since been providing promotional products to a wide ranging and prestigious client list including University of Aberdeen, Essex Wildlife Trust, Harrow School, University College London, University of St Andrews, Rotary Watches, Scottish Scouts, Sandhurst Trust and Queen’s Club.
Originally started in North West London by David Thurgood in 1969, David and his wife Anne ran the company until their retirement in 2006. Their daughter Nicky Crisp joined the company in 1988, and her husband John in 2001. Nicky took over as Managing Director on the retirement of her parents, and in 2007 Nicky & John set up their second office in Spain where they are currently based. Nicky commented “Over the years we have supplied commemorative souvenirs for the Royal Wedding in 1981, sponsored the Rugby World Cup in 1991, produced Jubilee Coins to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, and again for her 90th Birthday Celebrations in 2016. With more than 30 years experience supplying the MoD and Armed Forces, Impamark holds an official licence to produce their merchandise” Impamark has been a member of the Advantage Catalogue Group for several years and has consistently been ranked in the Sourcing City top 25 Distributor of the Year Awards. They have also been accredited members of their Industry Association (BPMA) for over 10 years. Impamark are extremely well known within Essex for supporting local charities and sponsoring events within the community, and have been Silver Corporate members of Essex Wildlife Trust for several years. In the past 18 months, Impamark has moved to a much more enviro and eco friendly stance internally, together with providing a wide range of eco and environmentally friendly merchandise. In January last year Impamark launched their “Happy Turtle brand”, to reflect this positive change of direction. In celebration of the momentous 50 year milestone the staff flew to Spain for a weekend to enjoy a relaxing time together, some fun in the sun, and ‘Fiesta’ Spanish style. Nicky believes that the reason for the company’s success is down to their great teamwork, extremely high level of customer care, and attention to detail. She said “We have a great team, both in UK and Spain, with a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. I would like to thank our fantastic supplier base and loyal clients, many of whom we have worked with consistently for over 20 years, and look forward to working together for many years to come!” |
