Impamark Christmas Shutdown 2020Impamark will be closed from:

As 2020 draws to a close we reflect on what has been an unprecedented year for us all. Impamark worked continuously throughout the lockdowns. Through our existing supply chains in UK, Europe and the Far East, we were able to provide much needed PPE to Hospices, Care Homes, Councils, Schools and Organisations. |
|
|
We built a new PPE Website back in April and have made several donations of masks, aprons, gloves and sanitiser dispensers to support those who need it. In addition we have also contributed to the Captain Tom Foundation by donating from hand sanitiser sales. |
|
Who could have possibly anticipated that our top selling promotional product for 2020 would be a reusable face mask? We have sold tens of thousands! One of our favourite orders was for The British Wildlife Trust and the masks we produced for them were featured in the Daily Mail as worn by Dame Judi Dench! |

In March, literally as we went into lockdown, we had the best news ever that Holly had passed her Level 3 NVQ in Business and Administration with distinction! With Covid the company re-organised itself and Holly now has a new digital marketing role. Not only does she manage all of our social media channels, she has been instrumental in building both the PPE website, and upgrading our new specialist site for the Armed Forces !! |

We would like to remind you that Chinese New Year, (CNY) is 12th February 2021 which will mean that orders for delivery pre CNY will need to be placed before 8th January. Any orders placed after this date will not be delivered until some time in March. |

At the time of writing we still do not know the effect that Brexit will have on our Industry. We are working with all of our suppliers to try and ensure there is minimum possible disruption so that we can still deliver our high standards of service that you expect. From our discussions, we do not anticipate there being any major changes with our Far Eastern suppliers, with the possible exception of delays in ports due to stockpiling and COVID. Our UK suppliers will also remain largely unaffected as long as they can obtain the basic stock. However, our European suppliers may be another story, and we will have to report back on this once we know for definite whether we have a deal or not. |

We are not sending any Christmas gifts this year. We have chosen to donate to a local food bank instead. The Dengie Food Pantry are working tirelessly over the Festive period to ensure the local community have the food they need to support their families. On behalf of the Impamark team I would like to thank you for your continued support throughout 2020 in what has been an extremely difficult year. We wish you a great festive season and best wishes for 2021. Let’s hope that next year is a little calmer for us all!! Nicky & the Team |

Nicky has been the Managing Director of Impamark for over 30 years and is based over in our Spanish office. She took over the business after her parents retired back in 2006. With her years of experience in the promotional merchandise industry, she is always on hand to offer expert advice to both customers and the rest of the team.
As 2019 draws to a close we reflect on what has been for Impamark a momentous year.
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 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.
