What Customers Say About Our Government Awards

“Our organization wanted a unique award that incorporated a challenge coin we previously designed. Numerous other companies were unable to fulfill our design requirement - that the center portion of the challenge coin could spin so both sides could be visible. When I contacted Bennett Awards, after exchanging a few e-mails and photos of the challenge coin, they replied in the affirmative and suggested options for the finished product. We had a short timeframe before we needed the award and I am pleased to say Bennett Awards designed a beautiful trophy that matched our coin to perfection.”
