About Us
Who We Are and What We Do
Set up in 2002 by Denise Robinson, The Extra Step supplies companies of all sizes with branded promotional gifts and corporate clothing.
Drawing on Denise’s extensive experience in sales and advertising, attentiveness and speed of response, coupled with a passion for satisfying customer needs, our client base has grown. From working with small local businesses, supplying branded items such as pens, bags, drinkware, clothing and more, to schools, clubs, government organisations and Blue-Chip companies.
Whilst we pride ourselves on our in-depth knowledge of printing, embroidery and branding processes, we understand that the only details that matter to you, the customer, are quality, brand alignment, delivery and value for money.
We are constantly looking out for new and innovative products along with the traditional favourites. With a focus on Eco-Friendly, made in the UK and an ever-increasing range of corporate workwear there is something to suit all budgets and marketing campaigns.
By working with clients, rather than for them, we have built excellent relationships based on trust, and reliability which leads to repeat business and referrals.

The Extra Step recognises that we have a responsibility to the environment beyond the legal and regulatory requirements.
That is why we joined many other businesses and took the BPMA ‘Step Forward Pledge’. This was an initiative by our industry association. We made a promise to embrace sustainability and to ensure that we are mindful of our environmental impact as a business. The pledge helps us to take proactive steps towards improving our sustainability performance, we have actively been implementing measures to create a more sustainable business structure.
With the global fight against climate change intensifying, we want to ensure that we as a business and our customers stand out from the crowd with the right choices of branded promotional merchandise.
