Running Imp
Description
Running Imp Limited is the UK’s established market leader in running/charity event supplies and event medals. We are a mail order company stocking everything event organisers could possibly need to make their event a success – a one-stop shop. Driven by a passion for running, Chris Illsley and Caroline Birkin founded Running Imp in 1988.
Managing Director Faye Watson joined the family run business in 1991 after originally starting out as an Office Junior.
Expanding rapidly over the years, we’ve grown from just two staff to over 65 currently. This number rises in the peak months of April to July.
Running Imp is proud to call Jubilee House our home, a large purpose-built office facility with a connecting warehouse that was opened by Olympic medallist Steve Cram in 2013.
Allowing our team of specialists to thrive, Running Imp are proud to say our four key aims of service, advice, choice and value have truly stood the test of time over 29 years.
Handling short lead times with ease, we’ve been honoured to scoop many prestigious awards down the years.
Lincolnshire Media Business Awards 2010 – Customer Care Award
Lincolnshire Media Business Awards 2012 – Diversity Award
Lincolnshire Media Business Awards 2013 – Large Business of the Year
Lincoln Civic Award – 2013
Earning a global reputation for the quality of our custom medals, Bespoke Medals was born in 2010.
This division specifically deals with the design and manufacture of Medals, Custom Coins and Pin Badges at wholesale prices.
With fundraising becoming a much larger focus for clubs, companies and organisations, we created Bespoke Fundraising Supplies too.
This new specialist division exists to solely deal with charity and fundraising merchandise and products.
Each year we adopt a charity to whom we donate money to from the sale of medals and company fundraising projects.
We are pleased to call the Meningitis Research Foundation our Charity of the Year for 2017, a cause very close to our hearts.

Each month Running Imp looks to fundraise in different ways to help raise money for our charity of the year: @meningitis_research. Following the success of our company dress down day in March, we are now preparing to hold a 'Mile of Money' event on Friday the 28th April 2017 to raise money for this great cause. Today we measured out the mile (which is 1609m) around Running Imp’s building and marked the route with tape, ready for the coins to be laid down. All monies raised will go to our charity of the year Meningitis Research Foundation, you can help us raise money by donating some of your spare coins for this great cause! Our office is open on Friday from 8:30am – 5:30pm. Address: 13 Whisby Way, Lincoln LN6 3LQ #charity #fundraising #fundraiser #mileofmoney #meningitisawareness #events #lincoln #lincolnshire
