Newsletter May 2026

Welcome to May!

New Colleague Announcement

Following my teaser last month, I am pleased to announce another new member to the CardGains team. Darren Ingram has a long career history in the gift industry and brings a wealth of knowledge and great ideas to take CardGains forward. Darren’s new position means he will be working closely with our members, suppliers, and sales and marketing teams to develop and grow the membership.

Darren will also be making contact with suppliers over the next months after he joins us on May 25th. I’m sure we’ll have some busy days ahead.

PG Live

We’re excited to be exhibiting at PG Live at London’s BDC on 2nd & 3rd June. There are lots of CardGains suppliers exhibiting at the show too. See more details on page 2 or read our blog article.

Don’t forget, members who register with the CardGains Team on the stand, receive a month’s free management charge.

As a special bonus this year, all CardGains members will receive a £50 voucher to spend with any CardGains supplier exhibiting at the show. It’s a fantastic opportunity to try something new or invest in products you already love, so make sure you keep hold of your voucher! Your voucher will be enclosed with your copy of our May newsletter.

I hope to see lots of members to say my goodbyes and to introduce Darren.
