We are still a family owned business and started trading back in 1971. From humble beginnings wholesaling postcards and giftware along the south coast of England we have grown to become a leading importer of design led giftware in the UK.
Elgate has an extremely diverse customer base ranging from small independent retailers, web based retail and UK charities through to wholesalers, department stores, multi-national and global blue chip accounts.
We pride ourselves on great customer service and have a real understanding of our customers’ needs. With forward thinking on the design and commerciality of products, whether on our own lines or bespoke, Elgate has become a leader in its field.
The level of customer service we have received from Elgate recently is exemplary. I can't emphasise enough how great it is to get a considered, efficient response the same day as sending out a query. It makes a Buyer's job so much easier. Debbie is worth her weight in gold! The quality and pricing of their products is always good, and they are dedicated to meeting our (usually very tight!) deadlines wherever possible.
We have worked with Elgate for many years, they have always been reliable, efficient and are very easy to contact and collaborate with. Their customer service is top-notch! We have never had a problem with their service and we hope to continue working with them for years to come. If you are a gift shop Elgate are essential suppliers!
I’ve worked with Elgate for years now and would definitely say they are one of the most friendly, collaborative and trustworthy suppliers in my supply base. The souvenir business can be very seasonal and SKU intense but Elgate always holds enough stock to see us through these peak seasons. Would highly recommend Elgate as a supplier!
Elgate have been the official partner for the University of Cambridge now for a number of years. They created a gifting and accessories line for the University. Everyone at Elgate is very professional and easy to work with, we couldn't ask for a better partner.
I have worked with Elgate for over 14 years and the company has always maintained a high level of service and quality. Throughout the years Elgate have continued to push themselves in being innovative towards the souvenir gift market. The design side of the business is extremely creative, and the team easily understand a client's brief. Elgate offer a variety of products for the generic buyers’ market as well as offering a high level of services towards own brand. I would not hesitate to recommend this supplier. UK Buyer
