Chani and the team are fantastic to deal with, would not hesitate to recommend. Really made the process so simple, from the very first ideas brainstorming session to the items turning up in our warehouse. They offer a really consultative approach, providing a presentation with concept designs which made getting internal sign off so much easier. Also gave us great design/artwork support and delivery was quick and seamless. Thank you to everyone involved!

We have been using M&M for our marketing and internal use merchandise for years. This was my first-time ordering products from them. The service couldn't have been better. The recommendations that I got from the very first email until the day I received my order were fabulous. The products were great, and the lead time was perfect. 101% recommended!! Thank You, Archit.

We have used M&M for several branded merchandise products and can highly recommend. More recently we ordered some branded hoodies. The ordering process was straightforward and efficient from start to finish, and we received the product very quickly. The hoodies are also great quality! The team have loved their new hoodies and are wearing them in the office.

Victoria Ketcher

Very happy with the service, always prompt with replies and solutions and very patient with accounts payments and crazy lead times!

We've worked with Chani for years and we're always amazed at the quick turnaround with quotes and product delivery, the quality of the items she sources, and the endless patience she and her team have when we're slow at making decisions.The ordering process is easy, and her comprehensive knowledge of the products allows her to offer thoughtful advice on the details in the artwork. I love the fact that Chani and M&M are champions for women in business too! Most recently Chani sourced these gorgeous notebooks we give to new joiners and some clients. We're really pleased with them!

It was a pleasure working with the team at M&M. They helped us navigate the process easily, gave us excellent support and advice, and ensured we met our deadlines. I'd highly recommend their service.

Even when planning an outdoors event in summer, you always need a back up plan in case the great British weather decides not to play ball! Thankfully, the weather held up and we had glorious sunshine for our GFirst LEP Annual Review event at Cotswold Airport, which meant (almost sadly!) we didn’t get to use the new umbrellas Chani created for us. We are so impressed with the quality and design, they are exactly what we were looking for. Our board members and team will love using them and they will come in so handy for future events. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chani, she is a pleasure to work with and always very quick to answer any queries. Looking forward to working with M&M again soon! Thank you so much!

Absolutely stellar customer service. When we had a problem with some of our promotional material (through no fault of Chani's), it was fixed instantly with no cost and with a smile! Always friendly, professional and willing to go the extra mile.
