In 1981, Alf Gold, founded AG Products. During many years in the printing business, he had always been impressed when visiting salesman had presented him with a business gift. When circumstances changed for him, it seemed to be the natural sector to move into. In those days, the range of promotional products was very limited, but then, as now, printed advertising pens were the biggest seller. His older son Chris, soon joined him in the business and Steve became part of the AG Products in 1991. Since these times, the company has been involved in selling quality promotional merchandise throughout all business sectors, with clients in Banbury, across Oxfordshire, in neighbouring counties, but also across the whole of the UK. Over this time, it has been the company ethos, to supply promotional products which are of good quality, are cost-effective and are innovative. This will involve discussing with the client what the current need is, what is the target audience, what is the budget, and when they are needed for—all important questions to allow us to come up with a short list of great ideas for the correct advertising product. The aim is to make the very best use of the client’s precious marketing budget. For the last ten years, the company has also focussed on Road Safety products: promotional items that can be used with all ages to help reinforce a particular message or campaign. Customers, including many Road Safety Officers, have bought branded pens, pencils, bags, water bottles, lights, fridge magnets and a whole host of other products. AG Products has worked with councils from the very north of Scotland, to the southwest of England, helping them promote important Road Safety education. As of January 2020, Steve will take on sole ownership of AG Products, as Chris continues with his own company, selling, as he has for many years, high quality wire blazer badges.
