But if it’s more about BOW you’re after, here’s our story.
How BOW began
BOW was born in 2014 when founder, Emily Newstead, decided corporate gifting could and
should be better. On an ironing board in her tiny spare room, she began with baskets and
built a business.
Emily has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. She’s been in business since the age of five
when she used the pocket money she earned working in her dad’s grocery store to buy silks.
These she wove into friendship bracelets and sold from a stall outside her dad’s shop.
Here she is in her early years. Look closely at the photo. Emily’s future was written in the stars,
or rather, on the bin! Have you spotted it yet?
What BOW became
Eight years on, BOW’s outgrown its original premises where we ran all projects on-site with
a team of ten. We now operate from two sites. One is a fulfilment centre that can handle
8,000 + units a day.
1000+ Orders Fulfilled
Warehouse ISO9001 ISO14001 Accredited
40+ Countries shipped
​
8 Awards
​
250+ Companies

We’re proud of the fact we’re a corporate gift company like no other.
Because from day one, we did things differently.
To save you trawling the internet sourcing products and then liaising with a host of different suppliers to package, brand and ship them, we brought it all under one roof.

Where BOW’s going
When Emily, our CEO, started BOW it was because she was certain there was another,
better way for companies to do corporate gifting.
She still is. (Because there’s always room for improvement.)
It’s not enough to make corporate gifting hassle-free.
Our mission is to shift the way companies think and behave around corporate gifting.
Because it’s not about ‘corporate’, at all is it? It’s about people.
So, are you ready to find out what’s really possible when you partner with BOW and
put your humans at the heart of what you do?
