What Pebble Promotions does

Pebble Promotions is a UK-based promotional merchandise distributor operating under the legal entity Paperlate Ltd (Companies House No. 04955810), headquartered at Office 4, 19 Market Square, Sandbach. The company sells branded promotional products including drinkware, bags, clothing and textiles, conference and exhibition items, desk accessories, technology gadgets, diaries and calendars, confectionery, and low-cost giveaways, serving B2B corporate clients for marketing campaigns, corporate gifting, conferences, and employee recognition purposes. Its product portfolio spans 1,000+ SKUs across proprietary branded lines such as Americano®, Baseline®, and H2O Bop® alongside third-party merchandise, with an emphasis on UK-manufactured items and a growing range of sustainable products made from recycled, ocean-bound, and biodegradable plastics.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through its proprietary website at pebblepromotions.co.uk, which provides product search, categorisation, wish lists, and quote-based checkout, supplemented by a glossy digital catalogue at merchcatalogue.co.uk under a catalogue-distribution partnership. Pricing is unit-based with volume tiering (e.g. tumblers from approximately £1.04 to £7.76 and sport bottles from £1.13 to £3.11 depending on quantity and product), and orders typically carry 5-10 working day lead times with separate origination, carriage and VAT charges. Customer acquisition relies on the online catalogue, organic Facebook presence, and enquiry/quote-based lead capture rather than paid acquisition.

The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed investors or parent entity, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue or ARR figures. Contact details are limited to a single named email ([email protected]) and a UK landline. No mobile application, public API, integrations, or AI/ML capabilities are referenced; the technology stack is not publicly disclosed and the value proposition rests on catalogue breadth, UK manufacturing capability, sustainable product options, and customisation through screen print, digital, pad print, and laser engraving.
