Firebrand Promotions

What Firebrand Promotions does

Firebrand Promotions is a UK-based B2B distributor of branded promotional merchandise, headquartered in Leatherhead, Surrey, and operating with 11–50 employees across a catalogue of 2,500+ SKUs spanning drinkware, apparel, bags, stationery, electronics, health and wellbeing products, plants and seeds, food and drink, and executive gifts. The company organises its catalogue into sustainability-themed collections — Ocean Bound Plastic, The Offset Collection, UK Made, Circular Economy, and Social Contribution — and offers LCA-based carbon footprint data with Gold Standard offsetting, distinguishing itself from commodity swag suppliers through verified ESG credentials (EcoVadis Platinum, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, UN Global Compact signatory, ClimateWise accredited).

The business runs a consultative sales-led model: corporate buyers configure products via a Quote Basket system, receive bespoke pricing, and can opt into curated swag boxes, custom co-branded merchandise with premium partners (Stanley, Barbour, KeepCup, Moleskine, Ocean Bottle, Solo Stove, FOAMO, Swanky Socks, Social Stories Club), and value-add services such as a tree-planting programme (up to 200 trees per order). Pricing is largely quote-based with volume tiers; disclosed unit prices range from roughly £3 to £27, while curated swag boxes range from approximately £31 to £138. The company was acquired by Geiger, a global promotional merchandise group, in July 2023 and fully integrated into Geiger Ltd effective 1 September 2025, rebranding under the Geiger name while retaining its UK team and customer base.
