I had a last minute urgent need for a trophy for an awards event, and Freddie couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Great service from start to finish and excellent product quality.

Brilliant, memorable school awards
We wanted to raise the quality of awards for our school hockey teams and the ability to send out a message about sustainability to our players through using Oak & Black was perfect.
The awards went down brilliantly. The youngsters loved them, and commented that, unlike the usual plastic ones, nothing fell off! There were also lots of comments about how nice they looked and how they will be able to take the awards wherever they go now in life, as they will fit nicely and subtly on a shelf as a reminder of what they have achieved in their school years.
Thank you for the support for school sport, the quick turnaround and superb job on the design - with every single name spot-on!
We will be back.
David Ferguson (Director of Hockey, Kelso High School)

Met Freddie at Thunder in the Glen last year,
Kept hold of his information and asked him to make a very bespoke whisky tasting board for 8 people. Our emblem was used as the design and Freddie did an amazing job of creating the board. The detail and finish is exceptional. Thank you again Freddie, Tony

Perfect Presentation Gifts
Our Team had been struggling to come up with a unique gift for those who were supporting us on our All Roads Lead to Rome challenge for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. One quick chat with Freddie later ... and we were sorted. We were proud to tell the story of Oak & Black plaques at each presentation; the Clubs, Sponsors and others receiving them were always delighted to receive such a beautiful item. Freddie was really supportive in guiding us through the design process and having everything ready for our Murrayfield launch. His Techy Keyrings for the Team were fab while on the road, connecting people we met to our social media tree simply by tapping on a mobile device... easy!! On behalf of us all at Dodd1e'5 Gr4nd S7am Team, thank you for your fantastic support Freddie. 💙💛💙
