The company was established in the 1930’s by GK Beaulah who recognised the need for finely produced heraldic shields and crests and coats of arms.
GK Beaulah had purpose built premises in the 1960s constructed, where we are still today and employed the finest craftsmen and painters. State of the art machinery now complements our craftsmen’s skills but to this day hand-craftsmanship remains at the root of everything GK Beaulah manufactures.
The company is a leading supplier and producer of traditional and heritage gift ware, corporate insignia, logos, badges, armorial and heraldic coats of arms. Working in partnership with customers to create original gifts and collectables, these customised and bespoke products are created in virtually any size and quantity.
