About us

At Awards Direct, we blend 70 years of industry experience with cutting-edge technology to create meaningful symbols of achievement. Founded by entrepreneurs Matt and Rachel Hanson, our company was born from the acquisition of two long-standing award businesses, each with over 35 years of history.

We understand that every award represents a story of dedication and success. Whether it's a sports trophy, academic achievement plaque, or corporate recognition, we pour our heart into each piece we create.Our commitment to quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and innovative design sets us apart. We offer a wide range of customization options, including UV printing and advanced engraving techniques, to ensure each award is as unique as the achievement it celebrates.

At Awards Direct, we don't just make awards – we create lasting memories that honor hard work and excellence.
