How Golf Trophies by Thomas & Peters Makes and Customizes Its Trophies

Golf Trophies by Thomas & Peters makes each trophy to order in its own Lincolnshire studio, handling all aspects of production in-house. The company describes every bronze trophy as meticulously crafted, cast, and completed by hand, and says each piece can be customized with different finishes and different bases. That means the answer to "how is it made and customized" is: handmade British production, one order at a time, with finish and base choices left open to the buyer.

What the studio says about how the trophies are made

The site's own description is the clearest source here. Thomas & Peters is described as a trophy and award company established 40 years ago and based in Lincolnshire. Two production claims stand out:

• In-house production. The company says it handles all aspects of trophy production in-house, which it presents as the reason for the quality of its gifts and awards.
• Hand craftsmanship. Each bronze trophy is "meticulously crafted, cast, and completed" in the Lincolnshire studio.

The phrase "made to order" is also used directly: each trophy is made to order rather than pulled from stock. The site frames this as "Handmade British Quality" and says the quality "adds prestige to any event."

What can be customized

The customization options named in the source material are:

The Men's Golf Pairs example is useful because it shows how customization works in practice: one trophy format (10.5"/26cm, item S100PT) is adapted across three different pair categories rather than requiring three separate designs.

What the catalog shows

The golf range includes portrait trophies of well-known players, each listed at 13" (about 33cm) and priced individually:

• Portrait of Seve Ballesteros — S112P — $468.00
• Portrait of Tony Jacklin — S115P — $468.00
• Portrait of Ben Hogan — S113P — $440.00
• Portrait of Tiger Woods — S84 — $404.00
• Portrait of Bobby Jones — S61P — $499.00
• Portrait of Arnold Palmer — S95 — $404.00
• Men's Golf Pairs award — S100PT — $532.00 (also available as Mixed Pairs and Ladies Pairs)

The same handmade bronze approach extends beyond golf. The cricket range includes a bronze-on-slate award (SC6, $183.00), a slip fielder trophy (S17, $251.00), a bowler trophy (S16, $485.00), and a batsman trophy (S7a, $580.00).

Prices shown include tax, with shipping calculated at checkout.

How to decide whether this fits your event

Choose this route if you want a handmade, made-to-order British trophy and are willing to specify finish and base rather than accept a fixed stock item. The portrait pieces suit a golf-themed event or a presentation to a player or club; the pairs award suits a team competition where you may need the same design across men's, mixed, and ladies' categories.

Look elsewhere if you need a large quantity of identical, off-the-shelf awards quickly, or if you want to compare many suppliers on price alone — the source material gives no volume pricing, lead times, or bulk options, so those would need to be confirmed directly with the studio before ordering.

Practical next steps

1. Pick the trophy format that matches your event (portrait, pairs, or another sport such as cricket).
2. Decide the category or categories it needs to cover — the pairs example shows one design can serve several.
3. Specify the finish and base you want, since the site states these can be varied.
4. Confirm current price, tax, and shipping at checkout, and ask the studio directly about lead time, since made-to-order production means timing depends on the order.
