About Virginia Hayward

Virginia Hayward is a family-owned hamper company based in Shaftesbury, Dorset, founded in 1984 by Geoff and Gin Hayward. Originally dairy farmers, the couple started the business from their kitchen table with a £30,000 bank loan. The company has since grown into one of the UK’s largest hamper suppliers, hand-packing over 400,000 hampers a year from a 200,000 sq ft facility. Now led by second-generation director Sam Hayward, it is part of a wider family group that also includes Grand Illusions, a home accessories brand.

Approximately 80% of Virginia Hayward’s output serves corporate clients — from SMEs ordering ten hampers to enterprises placing orders of several thousand — with some accounts spanning more than 20 years. The company also supplies hampers on a wholesale basis to brands including John Lewis, Interflora, and Laithwaites.

Virginia Hayward holds BRCGS AA+ accreditation for storage and distribution — believed to be the only hamper company in the UK to have achieved this standard — and maintains a Trustpilot Excellent rating. The company offers hampers from £14.99 to over £2,000 and provides a fully managed corporate gifting service with branded and bespoke options, dedicated account management, and guaranteed Christmas delivery. Virginia Hayward was a finalist at the European Search Awards 2025 and was featured in The Sunday Times How We Made It series.

UK business gift tax rules can be complex.

Gifts containing food and drink, including hampers, generally not deductible for Corporation Tax when given to clients or customers. However, many businesses still choose premium hampers because of the value they create through stronger customer and employee relationships.

If you are VAT registered, different VAT rules may apply to business gifts, and gifts to employees may qualify for separate tax exemptions.

As tax treatment depends on the circumstances and recipient, we recommend seeking professional advice from your accountant or tax adviser.

Absolutely. Corporate hampers are widely used as sales incentives, employee rewards, and recognition gifts. Common use cases include performance bonuses, milestone celebrations, onboarding welcome gifts, long-service awards, client appreciation, and seasonal thank-you gifts.

Research shows that tangible gifts like hampers are more memorable than vouchers and contribute to improved employee retention and engagement.
