Swift is the brainchild of Chris Dolan, a Northampton-born creative with a unique and always exciting approach. Chris studied Product Design at the University of Lincoln, achieving a first-class honours degree as well as the Dean’s award in 2009. He then went to work for a lead-player in the sports event supplies industry as a creative designer – this is where his passion for medal and sportswear design began to flourish.
In 2011 Chris made the decision to take the experience he gained to set up on his own and transform it into Swift. Since then he has been at the forefront of the industry, creating and producing bespoke medals for events all over the world.
His sister, Tessa Dolan, joined the team in 2014 and has taken the reigns to allow Chris the creative room he needs to produce exceptional medals and innovate. Tessa’s previous experience in customer-facing roles and her organisational skills allowed Swift to take the leap into running their own sports events.
Having arrived in Lincoln, Swift never left! Swift HQ is located in the rolling countryside of Lincolnshire, just outside of the city centre, with views across to the Cathedral.
Swift began running their own mass participation fun runs in 2015. They jumped in at the deep end with a Santa Fun Run & Walk in their home town of Northampton. This event quickly became well established in the event calendar and spread to many cities across the country. From there, they have gone on to host over 40 mass participation events; They range from competitive running races, obstacle course racing (OCR) through to themed events involving costumes, colour powder and some bubbles for good measure. For a while, they also had the largest inflatable Santa in the UK (don’t ask!).
As part of their event organising, they have worked with hundreds of charities along the way. As a result, Swift have a unique insight into how to make these partnerships work and generate significant donations from their participants. This experience has pushed Swift to diversify in their offering of event supplies to meet the demands of this sector, introducing popular and customisable add-to-cart items.
Swift Event Supplies supports event organisers, charities, and fundraisers with eco-friendly bespoke medals, event essentials, branded merchandise, and outdoor branding. Based in the UK, we proudly deliver sustainable solutions for mass participation and fundraising events in the charity sector and beyond.
