Impamark was delighted to host its much-anticipated Client Day at the Senator UK Pen factory in Harlow, bringing together a fantastic mix of customers and suppliers for an inspiring and engaging behind-the-scenes experience at one of the UK’s leading pen manufacturing facilities.

Originally planned for February 2025, the event was rescheduled following unforeseen circumstances earlier in the year. The September gathering marked a welcome return to face-to-face events and an opportunity to reconnect with clients and partners in a meaningful and memorable way.

Attendees were given exclusive access to the full production process behind Senator UK’s renowned writing instruments. The factory tours offered valuable insight into the innovation, sustainability, and attention to detail that define the Senator brand.

Impamark extends a sincere thank you to Senator UK for their warm hospitality and for generously opening the doors to their world-class facility. Their support played a key role in making the event such a success.

A big thank you also goes to all of our clients who attended – we truly appreciate your time, enthusiasm, and ongoing support. It was a pleasure to share the day with you and showcase the processes behind the products you know and trust.

The success of this Client Day reflects Impamark’s continued commitment to collaboration, transparency, and delivering added value to clients through strong industry partnerships.

This week, the Impamark team had the rare privilege of attending an invite-only evening at one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks – the Tower of London. Access to this exclusive event began with a fascinating guided tour led by a Yeoman Warder, offering privileged insights into the Tower’s rich history, traditions, and secrets. Guests were then granted the exceptional opportunity to witness the world-famous Ceremony of the Keys, a tradition that has taken place every single night without fail for over 700 years, safeguarding the Tower and its treasures.

To complete this remarkable experience, the team was welcomed at the historic Keys Bar, where their gracious host, Yeoman Warder Ryan ‘Barney’ Barnett, ensured the evening was both memorable and enjoyable. This private gathering provided an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the Yeoman Warders in such a unique setting – an honour the whole team will long cherish.

Impamark has a long and proud history of working with the Yeoman Warders, who remain one of their longest-standing and most valued customers. Over the years, they have supported them with a wide range of branded products celebrating their heritage and service. To see the Yeoman Warders in their historic home, and to witness first-hand a tradition they continue to uphold with such pride, was a truly special moment.

Impamark are deeply grateful for their exclusive invitation and for the warm hospitality we received throughout the evening. This exceptional experience served as a reminder of the importance of tradition, heritage, and partnership – values that Impamark holds close.

Ian with his favourite mugsThis morning, Ian Richards made a guest appearance on BBC Essex Radio, where he joined the conversation to discuss an often-overlooked hero of brand identity — the humble mug.

In the engaging segment, Ian explained how a well-designed branded mug can do more than just hold your morning coffee. “It’s not just about the logo,” Ian shared. “It’s about the feel, the design, and the emotional connection. A great branded mug can transform a simple moment into a lasting brand experience.”

From the texture and shape to the artwork and messaging, Ian highlighted how every detail contributes to making a brand more memorable. Listeners were treated to insights into how something as everyday as a mug can deliver meaningful engagement and elevate brand presence.

For businesses looking to leave a lasting impression, Ian’s advice was clear: don’t underestimate the power of a perfectly crafted branded mug.
