Military Promotion Gifts

Personalised military promotion gifts, engraved in Corby

A promotion is a proud moment, whether it’s a first step up or the long climb to Warrant Officer. It deserves more than a handshake and a drink in the mess. A military promotion gift should mark the new rank, and carry the badge that got them there.

We make promotion gifts for every corner of the Armed Forces: the British Army, the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines. Many are bought by a mess, a troop or a squadron for a colleague who has just been selected. Others are bought by family to mark the new rank.

A bespoke gift says you’ve thought about the person, not just the occasion. We engrave your chosen cap badge, regimental crest or unit emblem, then add the name, the new rank, service number or a short message. We can supply almost any cap badge, including those of regiments that have since been disbanded. If you can’t see the one you need, just ask.

For a Warrant Officer or Senior NCO, a pace stick holder or a Warrant Officer slate presentation piece is a fitting choice. You might also choose an engraved desk toblerone, personalised cufflinks for mess dress, a mess kit clutter box, a crystal decanter, whisky or port glasses, a hip flask or a pewter tankard. Every one is engraved to order in our Corby workshop.

Pronto Images is officially licensed by the Ministry of Defence, so the crests and badges we engrave are reproduced properly and with permission. Everything is made here in Corby, Northamptonshire. There is no minimum order.

Please allow up to 10 working days for engraving and dispatch, although it’s usually sooner. If the promotion dinner is sooner than that, call us on 01536 205816 before you order. If we can, we will.
