About GoPodium
Built by athletes, for athletes.
We're a global medal company founded by two lifelong friends who grew up competing together. We know how much a medal can mean - and we believe every athlete deserves one they'll want to keep.
Our story
Medals that recognise the effort behind the performance.
We founded GoPodium after competing together since the age of eight in swimming and becoming lifelong friends. Growing up through competitive sport, we learned how much a medal can mean to an athlete - not just as an award, but as recognition for the hard work and dedication behind every performance.
Since then, we've both competed across multiple sports, from national swimming events and Henley Royal Regatta to endurance races including the London Marathon. Through all of those experiences, one thing stayed consistent: quality awards matter.
That's why we started GoPodium - to help sporting events create memorable experiences and ensure every athlete receives the recognition they deserve through high-quality medals and awards.
What we believe
The GoPodium way.
Athletes first
We design medals that feel like a reward, not an afterthought. Every detail - shape, weight, finish, ribbon - is chosen to make your event feel special.
Truly bespoke
No catalogue numbers. No templates. We start from your logo, your colours, your event and build something that belongs only to you.
Founder-led service
You'll speak directly to the founders from the first idea through to delivery. No account managers, no call centres, no hand-offs.
Risk-free design
We create your visual medal concept for free and keep refining it until you're happy. You only approve when it's right.

The people behind it
You'll deal with us - not a call centre.
Shay and Joel are the two co-founders of GoPodium. Between them, they bring years of competitive sport experience, an eye for design and a stubborn belief that customer service should be personal.
From the first sketch to final delivery, every client has direct access to the founders. That means fast decisions, honest advice and a team that treats every order like it matters - because to us, it does.
Whether you're ordering 100 medals for a club gala or 5,000 for a major event, you'll get the same hands-on service and the same obsession with quality.
