World’s first promotional pen with a recycled refill from BusinessGiftPens.co.uk
06.09.2010, 17:38 PM
2nd September 2010 - A new promotional ball pen with more recycled components than any previous pen is now available from Leyland-based pen specialists BusinessGiftPens.co.uk. The Envirostick features the world’s first recycled ballpen refill, plus recycled barrel and cap, so all the plastic components are 100% sourced from waste materials.
The cap and refill are both made from Ecoallene; a brand new plastic material derived from recycled Tetra Pak beverage cartons that are made of 75% paper, 20% polyethylene and 5% aluminium. The barrel of the Envirostick is made from recycled polystyrene, all sourced from Italy and printed in England, cutting down the tremendous travel burden of shipping pens from the Far East, as is generally the norm.
The cap features a child safe breather hole, in case it is ever accidentally swallowed, and the barrel is available in black or white with a further choice of cap colours. A good advertising impact can be made with the large 45 x 18mm print area and using the Envirostick pen for promotional purposes will certainly enhance any organisation’s green credentials.
Parent company Ad-Options Limited, established since 1985, are distributing the pen through their website BusinessGiftPens.co.uk and further details can be found at http://www.businessgiftpens.co.uk/promotional-pens.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1170.
Managing director Stephen Ward is delighted with the addition of the new eco pen to the company range.
“The Envirostick should become the ball pen of choice for all offices,” he explained. “The green credentials of this pen are unmatched and it is a practical, very lost cost and effective way of promoting a company or brand.”
A comprehensive range of environmentally friendly pens can now be viewed and reserved online at http://www.businessgiftpens.co.uk via the ‘Eco-Friendly’ tab. The items are proofed and printed as required by clients and take approximately two weeks to complete. Faster service can be negotiated when production capacity will allow.
Distributing your own promotional pen in this way is a really cost effective method of communicating with customers, creating goodwill and providing a lasting reminder of important services and contact details.

Ad-Options Support 9-year-old’s Charity Bike Ride!
04.08.2010, 15:33 PM
Leyland based Business Gift distributors Ad-Options Limited are helping to support the remarkable charitable efforts of a Chorley schoolboy.
On Wednesday 4th August 9 year old Vincent Wardale a pupil at Abbey Village Primary School in Chorley sets out on his biggest sporting challenge yet - a “Coast to Coast Bike Ride” from Whitehaven in Cumbria to Sunderland in the North East in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice 25th Anniversary!
It’s all part of the Sporting Events Project which John Gibson, a Volunteer Sports Fundraiser, has set up to raise the awareness of the Hospice to a younger generation in the local community.
As John says “Julie, his mother, rang me in May saying that Vincent wanted to raise some money for St. Catherine’s Hospice. His aim being during the school summer holidays (4 - 7 August) to cycle 140 miles to complete the Coast-to-Coast cycle route. As Vincent says “I am letting my parents tag along with me”. It just goes to show what our children can do”.
Our thanks to Stephen Knight, Headteacher at Abbey Village Primary School, who has been very supportive of Vincent’s challenge from day one, and to Steve Ward who runs http://www.businessgiftuk.com in Leyland and has kindly donated T-Shirts and Caps for their journey.
Steve Ward told us “We have helped St Catherine’s both directly and through the Sporting Challenges being held this year, which is the 25th anniversary for both ourselves and the Hospice. When John Gibson told us of Vincent’s efforts we were delighted to get involved and send our best wishes to both him and his supportive parents”.
Should you wish to support Vincent’s efforts with sponsorship, please contact Dave and Julie Wardale by email: skip1a@hotmail.co.uk.

From One Silver Celebration To Another
22.04.2010, 15:03 PM
Presents are set to be dished out all over Lancashire after two local institutions joined forces to commemorate their silver anniversaries in 2010.
St Catherine’s Hospice in Lostock Hall opened in 1985 – the same year that business gifts specialists, Ad-Options Ltd were formed in Warrington, before a move to Leyland two years later. To mark the occasion, the latter has presented the former with 1,000 branded Ad Loop keyrings that can be given out as incentives to potential donors who can support the charity’s excellent work in the community.
Maureen Nickson, head of trading at St Catherine’s Hospice, received the gifts from Steve Ward, managing director of Ad-Options Ltd, in a presentation at the Lostock Hall facility, and will be presenting the striking fluorescent loops to supporters of many of the Hospice’s forthcoming events during their anniversary year.
The timing of the presentation was significant, with 29th April marking the precise anniversary of the first care activity that took place within the home in 1985.
Steve Ward, managing director of Ad-Options Ltd, whose main website at BusinessGiftUK.com features on the loops as sponsor, said:
“We are delighted to be able to share our anniversary year with such a prominent local institution that provides a superb service to those within Chorley, South Ribble and Preston who need its care and support.
“When we discovered the link, we were very pleased to be able to make the offer to donate these ad loop keyrings free of charge. Loop fobs always prove to be well received gifts, and will provide the recipient with a constant reminder of the Hospice service to the local community.
“Hopefully it will encourage more people to support the excellent work they do, and help their 25th year to be one of their most successful so far in terms of fundraising and awareness.”

Andrew And Ashley With Their Win
18.03.2010, 10:21 AM
Andrew Hutt, the winner of our silver anniversary competition, has kindly dropped us a line to show off the prize he claimed thanks to ordering from us during the promotional period.
The proprietor of A.S. Hutt Professional Painters and Decorators from Cheshunt in Hertfordshire sent us this photo, showing Andrew (left) with his son Ashley, who also works for the company.
Always keen to get our own name out and about, we were impressed by their clever method of working their contact details into the photo, so if you're based in Hertfordshire and need some painting or decorating undertaking, you know who to call!
Stay tuned for other competitions coming soon, with our current special offers including a free football-themed gift with all orders via BlankKeyrings.co.uk and LoopKeyrings.co.uk, and a free gift boxed Pierre Cardin pen with all first-time ad loop orders (upon request).
25th Anniversary Competition: Winner Revealed!
10.03.2010, 15:08 PM
Giving away something as extravagant as a 19” Alba HDTV and DVD player in our recent competition was a first for us, and we’re pleased to say that we helped our winner achieve a first too, as he told us in an amazed tone: “I've never won anything in my life before!”.
The triumphant victor - drawn out of the hat after we placed every invoice from purchases in January and February into contention - was Andrew Hutt, owner of A S Hutt Painter and Decorator from Cheshunt in Hertfordshire, who was lost for words when we called to tell him of his prize.
“I’m absolutely gobsmacked,” he admitted. “I’m not really much of a wordsmith so it’s hard to know what to say.
“People always use the line that they’ve never won anything in their lives, but I haven’t – until now! It’s brilliant, thank you.”
The successful promotion led to a flurry of orders in late February as the closing date approached, and Ad-Options Ltd would like to thank everyone who placed an order during the competition period, either via telephone on 01772 435010 or one of our networked websites at BusinessGiftUK.com, LoopKeyrings.co.uk and BlankKeyrings.co.uk.
Five-Working-Day Turnaround On Standard Loops This Month!
18.02.2010, 14:16 PM
We're pleased to announce that our ad loop portal at LoopKeyrings.co.uk is able to offer a five-day lead time on standard loop orders placed before the end of February - at no extra cost to the customer.
We pride ourselves on our fast turnarounds and our offer of free origination and UK mainland carriage, and we've been able to surpass ourselves this time by offering a five-working day lead time on all standard sized single colour print ad loops delivered within the UK mainland, meaning that if you order and confirm your proof today, your delivery could be with you a week later.
This limited-time-only trial is the best turnaround we've ever been able to offer without the need for special handling charges, and hope that it will help to sway the minds of anyone looking to order loops in a hurry.
Please note that loops needing two-colour printing or greater will still retain their standard 12-working-day lead time, as will jumbo and mini ad loops, but we are confident of being able to turn these round in reduced times too, subject to demand.
The offer now forms part of a 'treble-whammy' of promotions via the site this month, with all orders being placed into the hat to win an HDTV and DVD player via our Silver Anniversary Prize Draw, and a free Pierre Cardin gift boxed pen for all first-time purchasers*.
Use the 'design your ad loops' tool at LoopKeyrings.co.uk to create and order your own unique design now. Offer ends Sunday 28th February.
* Purchasers have the right to opt out of the prize draw and have to request the pen when placing their order in the 'special requirements' field
Champions!
20.01.2010, 10:18 AM
The Ad-Options team sprung a surprise by re-claiming the Central Lancashire Business Club Bowling Night crown for 2010 after a night of technical glitches at tenpin in Preston.
The 2005 and 2006 champions secured their third title under the banner of BusinessGiftUK.com after some high scoring from Nicola Derbyshire, Steve Ward and Mark Hutchinson - the latter's impressive score of 152 (containing five strikes) in the first of two frames proving to be the evening's overall highest score.
That, however, was countered by some low scoring from the rest of the team, and with earlier technical problems including a forced change of lane and the loss of several rounds of scoring in the second frame, it came as something of a surprise to the team to learn that they'd claimed the title when the scores were announced.
As ever, the key theme of the event is to bring local businesses together in a social surrounding, and this year's contest certainly succeeded once again with ten local companies represented in the contest.
Pushing the eventual winners for the title was a combined Thomas Cole Solutions and Spring Board Events team, which finished second, whilst the Club Chairman's team, made up of bowlers from Inspire Business Training, Swiftkleen and Euxton Lock Services & Signs came in third.
Title Tussle Awaits For Ad-Options Team
19.01.2010, 11:59 AM
The Ad-Options team will be aiming for glory tonight in the Central Lancashire Business Club Bowling Night at tenpin in Preston.
Competing under the banner of our main online portal at BusinessGiftUK.com, success has been forthcoming in recent years as we won the competition in 2005 and 2006, before a runners-up spot in 2008 and third place finishes in 2007 and 2009.
Our main threat on the night is expected to come from last year's winners, web developers Thomas Cole Solutions, who are said to be fielding two teams following their recent expansion.
Nonetheless, the idea of the night is all about bringing local businesses together in a social gathering, as a light hearted aside to sit alongside the presentations and networking events that make up the bulk of the organisation's annual events. Find out more by visiting BusinessClub.uk.com.

Steve Stars On Radio 4
06.01.2010, 10:30 AM
If you were tuned to your wireless over the new year, you may well have caught a familar voice over the airwaves.
Steve Ward, MD of Ad-Options Ltd, was originally part of a panel of Lancashire-based businessmen who featured in a post-Budget review on BBC Radio 4's 'You And Yours' last Easter, and the same programme returned to our HQ for an end of year update, which was broadcast on New Year's Eve.
To hear Steve's views on the current state of the economy in the UK from the viewpoint of an SME, visit the BBC Radio 4 website, where you can hear the Chorley-based feature in full by starting at 40:38, or scroll to 43:19 to listen to Steve's segment.
Other contributors to the debate include friends of our company, such Chris Maguire, editor of the Chorley & Leyland Guardian, and Graham Archer, the now retired chairman of the Central Lancashire Business Club.
Snowy New Year!
05.01.2010, 11:35 AM
We've returned to business today to be greeted by some of the heaviest snowfall we've experienced in our region for many years.
Whilst it hasn't made us totally inaccessible, you can see from this photo that the road conditions are very poor, and we've heard reports of numerous accidents locally this morning, with any inclines becoming almost unnavigable.
For this region, we suggest that customers should contact us by phone or e-mail rather than visiting in person.
We can still dispatch almost all urgent orders on time, but please note that it may take longer than usual for goods to arrive, given the nationwide affect of the downfalls.
Christmas Do Offers Further Support To Breast Cancer Care
18.12.2009, 16:00 PM
Ad-Options enjoyed a great night out for a good cause this week, thanks to their membership of the Central Lancashire Business Club.
Twenty four members and friends of the local business support group enjoyed an excellent evening of fine food and entertainment during their annual Christmas dinner Lancashire College in Chorley, and so taken were the audience with the performance of their headline entertainer, Eccleston-based soloist Laura Worden, that the Club opted to make a donation to her chosen charity, Breast Cancer Care.
This is the second time in a month that the performer’s vocal talents have benefitted the charity, which was boosted to the tune of £2,600 in November after she orchestrated a sell-out ‘Night At The Musicals’ at Bamber Bridge Football Club.
The Business Club evening was organised by joint chairman Stephen Ward, who is also MD of promotional gift specialists Ad-Options, who donated some of the prizes and table gifts.
After a traditional four course seasonal meal the diners enjoyed a ‘Millionaire’ style Christmas quiz, a hilarious Corny Cracker Joke Contest, and were entertained by Laura, who performed a variety of favourite seasonal tunes.
Retiring member Mike Lewis and his wife Pam were presented with Business Club pens by joint chairman David Kevill following over ten years as an active member, as was Laura Worden who sang beautifully without taking a fee, hence the Club’s decision to support her chosen charity instead.
Ad-Options Raise A Glass To Successful Beer Festival
07.12.2009, 13:56 PM
At the end of a stressful working week, many people like nothing more than to head to the nearest bar and relax with a cool, refreshing pint of beer, and business gifts specialists Ad-Options recently came up with a way of combining work with pleasure so that the end of their working day could merge seamlessly into that long sought pint!
The promoters of successful specialist online keyring sites BlankKeyrings.co.uk and LoopKeyrings.co.uk achieved the feat by sponsoring a barrel of ale at the inaugural Leyland Beer Festival, held from Friday 4th December to Sunday 6th December at the town’s British Commercial Vehicle Museum.
In putting their name to the event’s supply of Coniston XB Bitter, Ad-Options not only helped to promote their identity locally, but also helped a number of good causes, with local charities benefitting from the profits generated by the festival, which hopes to return even bigger and better in 2010.
The Leyland Beer Festival kicked off with a business networking event for all sponsors in the afternoon prior to its public launch, allowing all the sponsors to create new business leads in a relaxed atmosphere amongst the scores of historic vehicles on show within the popular venue’s confines.
Steve Ward, managing director of Ad-Options Ltd, said that he enjoyed supporting the event and hopes it will begin a legacy for similar events within Leyland in the future. He explained:
"We were delighted to be able to support an important event for our home town, and in particular one of the north west beers, which went down well with everyone from our company who sampled it.
"It is key in the current economic climate that companies do what they can to support others within their locality, and we were delighted to join forces with other firms from our region to support an event which will have been enjoyed by those who attended and will hopefully have generated a healthy profit to support the good causes that stood to benefit from the festival.
"Being able to meet up with other local companies at the networking event was an added bonus for us, and we look forward to the Leyland Beer Festival’s return in 2010."
Ad-Options Sponsor Hugely Successful Fundraiser
18.11.2009, 09:26 AM
The X Factor was kicked into touch by over 200 local music lovers on Saturday night as they packed out Bamber Bridge FC’s functions lounge to enjoy ‘A Night At The Musicals’ in aid of Breast Cancer Care.
The event, which was the brainchild of talented Eccleston-based vocalist and mother of two Laura Worden, brought together four local singing sensations and a supporting cast of dancing stars to perform their favourite numbers from a variety much-loved stage productions, including Les Miserables, Grease, Evita and Mamma Mia.
A capacity crowd helped to raise an exceptional figure of £2,600 for the cancer awareness charity as they were wowed by Laura and her supporting cast of Catherine Sullivan, a Leyland-based soloist from the St Mary’s Church choir, Maria O’Connor, a Parbold-based performer whose grandmother Agnes Soanes was a regular act at the Liverpool Empire Theatre, and Alex Thompson, godson of Bamber Bridge FC’s director of football George Halliwell, who, ironically, could have instead been appearing on the competing attraction of The X Factor on the same night, having progressed through five rounds of this year’s auditions.
The dance element of the performance was led by 11-year-old Janie Hodge from Penwortham, who has been learning her art for the past seven years with the Anita Murray Dance School in Chorley, with the MC duties conducted by Leyland-based entrepreneur Steve Ward from event sponsors BusinessGiftUK.com.
Laura explained that her decision to organise the event on behalf of Breast Cancer Care stemmed from her experiences as a staff nurse at Euxton Hall Hospital, which is a breast care approved unit, admitting:
“I have met so many special people who are bravely battling this disease, both through my work and experiences of relatives who have received care for the condition. I felt that this would be a fantastic way of helping to raise awareness of the charity’s excellent support work whilst also allowing the crowd to enjoy an evening of entertainment in the company of some extremely talented performers.
“I’m overwhelmed with the response we had to this event, and we could have sold far more tickets than the capacity of the venue allowed, selling out weeks ahead of the event and before we’d even planned to launch our publicity campaign!
“The final total of £2,600 is a wonderful reward for all the effort that everyone put in, and we couldn’t have done it without all the performers, the volunteers who came along to assist on the night, everyone that came to watch, and our sponsors, who supported us brilliantly.”
The extensive list of backers who proudly supported ‘A Night At The Musicals’ included Peter E Gilkes and Co., Etcetera Boutique at Cedar Farm Galleries, Ultra Health and Beauty of Mawdesley, Justs Ladies Fashion in Penwortham, Accrington and Rossendale College, Avon Cosmetics, Therapy Beauty Spa in Maghull, Darren’s Fresh Fish, Estee Lauder at Boots in Preston, Abode Boutique of Tarleton, Diana Glover, The Midge Hall public house, Nickson Cycles of Leyland, Richard Harland, Ad-Options Ltd and Jonwell Hair Studio in Leyland.
Laura singled out one particular sponsor for special praise, Euxton Hall Hospital, thanking her friends and colleagues at the facility for ‘their continued and generous support’.
Celebrate Button's Triumph With An F1 Keyring!
06.11.2009, 10:30 AM
After another hugely successful year for British motor racing, our sister site at BlankKeyrings.co.uk is commemorating a memorable F1 season by launching a promotion on our namesake keyring - the F1!
In recognition of Jenson Button's world title triumph, we're offering a free Pierre Cardin gift boxed pen with all orders for unassembled F1 keyrings placed online.
The F1 keyring is ideal for companies with a wide logo, as the 50mm x 20mm insert size allows for artwork of that ilk to fill the maximum possible space within the keyring window. The convex shape of the keyring magnifies that text to make it stand out more than the average keyring.
You can order in multiples as little as 100 units, but the more you buy, the more the unit price comes down, meaning you can pay as little as 21p (ex VAT) per keyring.
This end of season offer is only available until 5pm on Friday 20th November, so order now at BlankKeyrings.co.uk to receive a free gift in honour of the world champion!
