Challenge Coins UK was founded by Tom Newey in 2017. Tom first came across coins whilst serving in the British Army on exercise in California as a technician on the Apache Helicopter. Upon being given his first coin, Tom realised that the British forces lagged behind when it came to using coins for unit identity and rewarding significant achievements.

After leaving the Army, Tom realised that the civilian and corporate could also use coins as internal awards, to celebrate anniversaries or recognise long service. 

Tom does the majority of the coin designs using his knowledge of the armed forces but now also the police and corporate sector. This knowledge, gained over time, means that designs are tailored to each customer and their background rather than a one size fits all approach.

Review by Adrian Osborne on behalf of PTHB Engagement and Communication Team: These commemorative coins are excellent quality and provide a wonderful memento as part of our celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

Communication with Tom’s team has been excellent and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for professional customer service and a quick design to production time line. The coins themselves are great, detail is amazing and our club is very happy with the finished product. Will definitely use Challenge Coins UK again.

Awesome from start to finish. Excellent communications all the way through, despite being a small business. The initial process was getting the design that I wanted. I threw a few ideas their way & they got back to me with a few varients to decide from. From there it was just a matter of easy payment & the projected turn around of 5 weeks. The final product itself was way beyond my expectations & I couldn’t be more delighted. Already got thoughts on another design & I know I’ll get the same stellar service.

A repeat order for more 500 coins after the last batch went down so well. Challenge Coins were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thank you

Just to say a huge thank you to you and the team for the really superb enamelled coins – they are absolutely what we envisaged and such high quality. This is the second time we have used the company and the service from design to completion has been exemplary.

I collect challenge coins so I have already got some by Challenge Coins UK and they are well made. I decided to get my first coin made up for a particular unit which has never been done before. I decided to use CCUK and they did not disappoint. So easy from start to finish, design proofs looked good, easy to make changes if needed and if I wanted to speak to anyone someone always answered the phone. I mainly dealt with Tom who was more than happy go through everything in detail and also show me photos of what different aspects of the coin would look like. Once the order went in the turnaround was quick and they were posted straight away, next working day delivery for me which was amazing. CCUK also included a couple of free presentation coin boxes for me which was a lovely touch. I would definately use them again, highly recommended. Thanks to CCUK.

Recently purchased a quantity of Challenge coins, personalised presentation boxes, floating stands and acrylic stands. Amazing quality products, everyone who ordered one is super happy with it, others have asked if they can now get one. Outstanding customer service, professional yet friendly and personable! Worked hard on the design and nothing was too much trouble! Estimated turn around from order to delivery was beaten, even with the large order and super swift reliable delivery Just faultless! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work and stay safe!

I cannot recommend these guys high enough. After being told our unit was closing, we thought it would be nice to have a challenge coin to remember our time in it. I contacted Challenge Coins UK and the process was extremely easy. Upon speaking with Stephen and Tom on the phone their enthusiasm and professionalism was apparent. We got the design sorted and when I received the finished product, it far surpassed what I was expecting, having received challenge coins from other Police departments. The detail and the quality is exceptional, and everyone currently serving in our unit and who had previously transferred or retired, are all extremely happy. Thank you!

Tom was my first port of call after seeing his work first hand. I have the artistic flair of a dead dodo, but Tom put me straight. From the first contact to the delivery Tom was there all the time. After a huge blunder by myself Tom went above and beyond to accomodate me in my second order of coins. Tight sechedule to get to Germany but again with Toms help they got here in a round about way. From one overjoyed Ex Forces member in Germany I can only reccomend.
