Armed with just a laptop and Blackberry, Purple Moon is founded by Alexia Kyprianou. As Alexia loves a challenge, this was during the infamous ‘credit crunch’…and she was also pregnant!
From our modest origins in 2008, we have expanded to become a major supplier of promotional gifts in the UK. Along the way, we’ve been fortunate enough to work with fantastic individuals and organisations. Our team, clients and suppliers have all contributed to our ongoing success – thank you!
It simply wouldn’t be possible to highlight each significant moment, but we’ve assembled a snapshot of key events.

At the tender age of 5 years old, Purple Moon is firmly established as one of the largest Promotional Products suppliers in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
The London Olympics is in full flow. We work on various high profile marketing campaigns, which include the Olympic Park and Virgin Atlantic.

Our merchandise management solutions are tested to the limit, as we work on a complex marketing campaign for MasterCard. This includes the global distribution of bespoke merchandise across 4 continents (it was a great success)!
We relocate to larger premises in Solihull, a leafy suburb in the West Midlands. Solihull is also home to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), a premier trade show location.
It’s our 10th anniversary – any excuse for donuts! Working with clients such as the RSPCA, Bentley and National Express; reinforces our standing as a leading UK supplier of promotional products.
