How Sampsons Got Here
For more than sixty years the name of Sampsons has been synonymous with souvenirs, through both sales and innovation in this sector of retail merchandise.

Back in the 1950s a small wholesale toy department store based in Southend-on-Sea had been successfully developing small collectors markets in badges and stickers.
This part of the business belonging to Sampson
Brothers was acquired and marketed by the new founding directors of Sampson Souvenirs Limited.

For years to come Sampson Souvenirs became leaders in their ability to provide stock souvenir merchandise for most UK areas and made progress into the bespoke market by developing their designs onto new innovative product with freelance artists.

By the 1990s Sampson Souvenirs had become so successful that they had expanded their business to include a dedicated in-house design studio and increased their own manufacturing and printing capabilities. This growth meant that a new improved premises was needed and so a vast warehouse and office complex was acquired.

After building a firm foundation in Souvenirs which had a wide and varied customer base including Theme Parks, Museums, High Street Retailers, Soccer Clubs, National Charities, Tourist shops and many other associated retail outlets it was time for the Directors to retire and sell the Business.

In 2007 Sampson Souvenirs was sold and quite simply, with the name now synonomous with souvenirs, became Sampsons Ltd.

Supplying over 20 million items per annum Sampsons is still progressing. With a team built on experience Sampsons Ltd will continue to market our huge range of merchandise and will seek to develop and introduce more new products to the Souvenir and Tourist industry for years to come.
