The original sourcing company

WE ARE CREATIVE

IMI is one of the longest established premium sourcing and promotional merchandise supply companies.

We started our operations in London in 1973 and since then have spread ourselves to other continents in the world. Our purpose in life is to help our clients succeed and we have been fortunate to work with some of the leading companies in the world over the last 40+ years.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

We suggest, source and supply a wide range of promotional merchandise to many industry sectors. From idea generation and creative design briefs, we work closely with our clients to ensure suitable products are sourced and supplied to meet the required budget and target audience and ultimately to fully address the clients’ brief. Then, if required, we store them and send them out to our client’s customers. We pride ourselves on being different, imaginative and creative. We try to live up to our name by being innovative and keeping abreast of current and future trends.

IMI has opened an office in The Netherlands to aid us with post Brexit importation into the European mainland and to help resolve any issues thereof. We hope this office will service our client’s needs for many years to come.

Located in Amsterdam and close to the major transportation hubs of Rotterdam and Schiphol we are already seeing benefits.

We are delighted that the UK vaccination programme to deal with Covid-19 and its variants has been rolled out with such success.

Thankfully our day to day work has been relatively unaffected by our working at home and we will continue to operate in this manner until we are 100% sure it is safe to commute and work in our central London office.

We are, therefore, as ever, ready and at your disposal.

Please do not hesitate to ask for anything you might need.
