The Owner of Argyll Engraving is Mike Campbell who was born, raised, and still currently resides in Picton, Ontario. He holds a 3 Year Business Administration diploma from Loyalist College located in Belleville, Ontario. Mike works with 851 Prince Edward Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Picton as the Administration Officer.

The concept of a trophy shop came about when an existing business decided to sell it's equipment and materials. A different name for the new trophy shop was required once the transaction was complete. The crest was developed from the family coat of arms of the Campbells of Argyll Clan. This is why the name is spelt ARGYLL and not ARGYLE. Argyll Engraving officially opened for business on May 30th, 1996.

Before the business was started the Owner remembered how friends and acquaintances in the school system and cadets were concerned with the rising costs of products in their area. Nametags for example were as much as $6.00 each and did not directly follow the design required by the military. Schools could no longer afford the type of award from previous years and had to downgrade to a small award or drop the award from the curriculum all together. Trying to cater to these concerns is what formed the goal of the business.

What is this goal? The goal of Argyll is to assist schools, service clubs, and other non-profit organizations by providing awards and badge-ware at an affordable price.
