Our Story

A trophy shop in Kent, now at home on the fairway.

The Gravesham Golf Co. is the specialist golf arm of Gravesham Trophy Centre, built on more than 30 years of awards and engraving craft. Here's how we got here - and why we only make golf awards.

MMXXITHE GRAVESHAM GOLF CO.

It started with a Captain's Day, in 1987.

John Gaymer opened Gravesham Trophy Centre in Gravesend more than thirty years ago - half a workshop, half a shopfront, every piece engraved by hand. Back then it was Captain's Day trophies and club silverware for the sides down the road - the kind of work where one order becomes every season, and word travels from one clubhouse to the next.

For three decades we engraved trophies for every sport going - football, cricket, rugby, bowls. Golf sat alongside them all, but it kept pulling us in deeper - the clubs, the societies, the small rituals that come with the game. Along the way, our customers taught us the language of the game.

So we founded The Gravesham Golf Co. - a sister brand dedicated entirely to golf awards. Same workshop, same engravers, same family. Only pointed entirely at the fairway.

A NOTE FROM JOHN

"Golfers remember the round, but they keep the trophy. Our job is to make something that still means something on the mantelpiece long after the scorecard's forgotten."

- Values -

What we hold to.

01

Quality without compromise

We only stock pieces we'd be happy to win. If it arrives with a mark on it, we replace it - no questions.

02

Speak the language of golf

Our team knows a stableford from a matchplay and a claret jug from a salver. The brief is already understood.

03

Built to last

A trophy that lives in a cabinet for thirty years should look as good on year thirty as it did on year one.
