About Us

Bruce Dodds started Design Awards in 1994 with the desire to create rather than just manufacturing awards. With perseverance and innovation Bruce and the team have carved a reputation in the market for quality design and workmanship. This dedication has seen the Sydney studio grow an enviable national and international client base. In fact this success has enabled the setup of the Melbourne arm of Design Awards headed by James Penton-Dodds.

As a family run business, Design Awards, has always taken great pride in going the extra yard to deliver what are, arguably, works of art. All you need to do is give us an outline of the award, company and event and perhaps an idea of your budget and we will do the rest. Providing quotes, concept sketches, ongoing consultation and, if required, prototypes/mock ups.

Imagine an award unique to your company, hand made for your project and individually crafted to capture the heart of those awarded for outstanding effort or reaching the goals set before them. That is what sets Design Awards apart from the “off the shelf “ trophy suppliers: Soul, passion and designs specifically created for your event or ceremony.
