Business History

A Note from the new Owner –

After twenty years of specializing in Medal Mounting Paul Walker of Paul’s Medals has purchased Albury Engraving Plus to complement his business. Paul has been making sure that those special medals awarded to our family members serving our nation in the defence force and those serving in the various  civilian services are cared for, mounted in the correct order and manner as befits the service and sacrifices they made and continue to make for us.

Albury Engraving Plus is a trophy and engraving retail business which Paul will operate as a sole trader (with help from his family members). The shop opened at 479 Townsend Street, Albury in June 2013, and  developed a wonderful reputation throughout the local community. Intricate hand engraving will still be carried out by Terry until we are confident that I am as good as he is. I sell a complete range of trophies, awards, gifts and badges to choose from as well as offering a key cutting service.

Terry  became a self-taught engraver in 1981 when on leave from his work as a primary school teacher. Over 40 years he has honed his craft and earned a reputation as a skilled engraver. Hand engraving is the main method used in the shop today and it gives AEP an advantage over our competitors. Along with  computer engraving, hand engraving and laser engraving Albury Engraving Plus offers a broader scope for personalizing items.

AEP provides trade services to some local businesses and a number of shops outside the district including those at Wangaratta, Yarrawonga and Merimbula.

Materials and stock are sourced from a number of suppliers around Austalia. Most of the work is performed in-store except for customized medals, badges, display stands and cases which are outsourced to specialist suppliers. Text, logos and photos can be engraved, printed or etched onto items using the method that best suits the task at hand.

The technology here at AEP is constantly evolving, so you can trust that you’ll always receive the most advanced engraving options available!
