About us
Promotional product specialists led by real experience—since 2009
Global Promotional Solutions is a UK-based specialist in custom promotional products and premium branded merchandise—particularly for major events and high-impact campaigns. From lanyards, passes and wristbands to microfibre products and bespoke premium pieces, our focus has always been on ensuring your events and promotions deliver and reinforce brand value.
Since 2009, we’ve supported charities, SMEs, agencies and global sports organisations by turning ‘we need something for this campaign’ into well-designed, dependable promotional products that perform—on event day and long afterwards.
Meet the people behind the name
Global Promotional Solutions is led by Trisha Whitehouse and David Taylor, professionals with decades of combined experience in marketing, manufacturing, events, sports and promotional merchandising.
Their backgrounds give them a rare dual perspective:
—a deep understanding of brand objectives and a practical awareness of what manufacturers can reliably deliver.
They have collaborated with blue-chip organisations, major retailers, supermarket groups, global sports bodies and high-profile sponsorship programmes—including long-running, NDA-protected projects in elite motorsport. The same people who handle these confidential, complex programmes will be the ones guiding your charity wristband order, corporate lanyards or event merchandise from start to finish.

—Core product sets, refined to demand
Products such as printed lanyards, high-grade microfibre cloths and bags, and silicone or fabric wristbands are not simply SKU numbers for us. They’re core product sets we’ve refined through decades of live campaigns. We tune materials, print methods, fittings and packaging so they perform reliably under real-world use. Each range is specified to work with fulfilment workflows and on-site logistics, so they support your activity rather than adding to it.
—Specialist focus in product procurement
While we can supply thousands of standard promotional products, our core strength lies in understanding your audience, objectives, budget and timelines. Instead of overwhelming you with endless catalogue pages, we recommend a carefully considered selection of products that genuinely support your campaign.
Our experience allows us to spot practical challenges early, propose realistic solutions and guide you through the realities of effective promotional merchandising—not just the theory.
—Experience shaped by real campaigns
Our work is grounded in real-world delivery across marketing, events, design and manufacturing both in the UK and globally.
Since 2009 we have:
- Delivered premium custom merchandise kits for global motorsport teams and major events under NDA.
- Developed bespoke microfibre product ranges for technology, optical, automotive and retail brands.
- Supplied high-volume personalised lanyards and wristbands for charity events, festivals and conferences.
—Confidentiality you can rely on
Many of our premium branding and event projects involve confidential programmes, licensed properties and sensitive sponsorship activities. We regularly operate under NDAs and manage approvals, brand guidelines and launch timelines with absolute professionalism.
You won’t see those projects displayed publicly—but the discipline and discretion behind them shape the quality of every project we deliver.
—End-to-end support from one specialist team
From initial concepts through artwork, sampling, production and delivery, we stay actively involved at every stage. We work directly with manufacturers to maintain timelines, resolve technical details and prevent issues before they arise.
You receive a dedicated point of contact who understands your project in full—not a rotating list of names.
—Ethical and quality-controlled production
We are committed to responsible sourcing and ethical manufacturing. Our partner factories undergo regular inspections, and compliance certifications—including standards such as Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and recognised material brands like DuPont™ Tyvek®—are available on request for standard product lines.
—Personal service and clear communication
As a boutique specialist provider, we prioritise clarity, responsiveness and practical advice. You can expect honest guidance, realistic lead times and transparent conversations about cost, quality and impact—from your first enquiry to final delivery.
—Transparency in how we present work

“GPS provided an excellent service to Ride Alert especially when we need bespoke designed products bearing our clients’ branding. They have an unrivalled knowledge and can always find exactly what we want, at the right price and delivered on time.
Even when we have an idea and don’t know exactly what we want, GPS are able to take the concept and source a solution to suit the purpose. I cannot praise them highly enough and consider Global Promotion Solutions to be absolutely integral to our business needs.”
