Inkerman were delighted to have made the perpetual David Power Jockeys' Cup. The trophy's journey from concept to completion has been a labour of precision and craftsmanship, undergoing several processes involving silver spinning, casting, hand chasing, polishing, silver plating and gold plating.
The cartouche (the badge on the front of the trophy) shows the name and a jockey outline in silver it is then hand painted with a protective blue paint and dipped in 18ct gold to gain the contrasting colour.
It's hard to believe the trophy starts as a flat sheet of silver which is heated and spun to create the shape.
The trophy's lid takes the form of a jockey's cap and goggles, while two interlocking horseshoes serve as its crowing feature, representing the unbreakable bond between horse and rider.goggles and the cap for The David Power Jockey Cup prior to assembly.
Standing over 1 metre tall, the David Power Jockey Cup was presented by David Powers son Paddy, to winning jockey Harry Skelton after the opening race at Aintree. Having ridden Boombawn to finish fourth behind Impaire Et Passe in the opening Manifesto Novices' Chase, the rider was 78 points clear of Harry Cobden and 80 ahead of third-placed Nico de Boinville.

What an honour for Inkerman to have been commissioned by FAW (Football Association of Wales) to make their new Women’s Trophy, The Bute Energy Welsh Cup. Made in the UK by traditional silversmiths and engravers, the trophy went through seven processes of manufacturer including spinning, modelling, casting, silversmithing, polishing, plating and engraving and in total took 180 hours to complete.
The FAW Cup in one of the many stages of production with seven processes and a total of 180 hours work it is a fine example of traditional English Craftsmanship.
The cup celebrates Women’s football in Wales and is engraved with Winners from the past 30 years. “We were delighted to work with the FAW and Gayle Rogers on the design and creation of the FAW Bute Energy Welsh Cup and are proud to be a small part of the growing emergence of women in sport”. ‘Two women-led businesses working on a women’s football trophy has been really empowering’.
We were challenged to create a truly bespoke modern trophy for the historic King George VI Steeple Chase. The design team drew up an impression of a stylised horse's head through the use of three nickel plated precision cut aluminium layers, with polished and brushed finish.
It was then fitted to a mirror polished reflecting plate and two tier acrylic plinth in the sponsor's distinctive colours. Finished with the historic winners going back to 1967.
Standing close to 40cm tall, the trophy was first presented at the Boxing Day race at Kempton Park in 2019. Pictured: Winners Sam Twiston-Davies and Paul Nicholls.
The main body of the design was created by pouring individual layers of acrylic which were then printed with each layer of the car. This process was repeated 20 times to create the 3 dimensional car within the block. This was fitted to the yellow acrylic base with hand painted red accent and printed award details and logos.
Inkerman helped to create this one-off trophy for Bright Partnerships, DHL's global sponsorship Agency, who created a truly intricate and complex design. How to create a trophy which when seen from above featured a Formula 1 car but when seen from the side showed the DHL logo.
The finished piece was shipped by DHL to the end of season race, the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before being presented to the winners Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. The team managed to break the world record three times that season ending up with a time of 1.82 seconds during Max Verstappen's pit stop in the Brazilian Grand Prix. A remarkable trophy with impressive detailing, leaving the motoring world wondering how it was created.
Inkerman has been commissioned to do the Grand National trophies for 15 years, we were asked to create a new Liverpool Hurdle trophy for the Aintree Festival in 2017. Ryanair was the sponsor so the brief was to design and create a trophy incorporating the Ryan air wings the low-cost airline, Ryanair. The logo is the Irish harp, the official symbol of Ireland.
The design was created in Sterling Silver with a 12" diameter revere bowl with hand crafted Liverpool 'Liver Bird' handles fitted to a mahogany plinth with a generous engraving band. Finished with a gold plated interior, engraved detailing around the trim and winners on the plinth since 2004. Standing 33cms tall.
