Introducing the Gaudio Production Team: At Your Service


A job in the Gaudio Production Team is a job like no other! Because of the vast range of bespoke awards we produce for our clients no two days are the same. This requires a great deal of skill and flexibility, as well as a keen eye for detail. We pride ourselves on the quality of everything we ship, and all of our awards go through the same rigorous quality checks.

We are very lucky to have production under the same roof as our design, customer service and sales teams, resulting in a very tightly integrated process. Everybody takes immense pride in the work that we do, and it’s great to be able to see it go from brief, design and finally production within a short space of time.

If you have ordered from Gaudio before, or been lucky enough to win an award, you will be aware of our work, but you may not know about the people and processes involved in making your award. The varied nature of our products means that we need flexible machinery, skilled technicians and a great team ethic. Our production facility is more akin to Santa’s workshop than a production line, with completely different materials, processes and skills being used every day. Find out more about some of the key members of our production team:

Incentive Ideas for Rewarding Hard Working Staff


Incentives are an important part of motivating and rewarding staff for their efforts and sharing the success of the company. Studies have shown that incentive schemes increase productivity, reduce time off due to sickness and increase employee engagement. During the recession many companies have been unable to sustain their incentive schemes and productivity has dropped as a result, further compounding the decline in business. As cash incentives become less viable, many companies are turning to cash alternatives. In this article I will be looking at some of the options available for non-cash employee rewards.

How Our Pricing Works

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is how much do your awards cost? You may have noticed that most of the awards on our website don’t have pricing on them, and there is a very good reason for this. All of our awards are designed specifically for your needs, including your budget. For this reason, we offer a free design and quote service, so you can see exactly what you are getting for your money. The handy guide below shows how easy the process is:
