About Us

Welcome to WavyHands.net, the online home of Gladiator Foam, the original UK foam hand manufacturer.

I’ve been running this small, family-style business for nearly 40 years, supported by a loyal and dedicated team who take great pride in every product we make. Together, we’ve built a reputation for quality, creativity, and reliability that has stood the test of time.

Over the decades, we’ve had the privilege of manufacturing foam hands and promotional products for many major companies, TV shows, and events, including:

Gladiators, Coca-Cola, Powergen (Rugby Union Cup 2003/2004), Anheuser-Busch, Warner Brothers, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Carl Gresham, and Herod Food and Florist — just to name a few.

Our aim has always been simple: to bring fun, excitement, and engagement to events of all kinds through our high-quality, custom-made foam hands. Whether it’s a sporting event, festival, or brand promotion, our products help people wave, cheer, and celebrate with fun.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Judith Ross, a highly experienced digital professional from The Business Growth Hub, whose expert guidance, advice, and encouragement have been invaluable in developing our Shopify website and improving our digital marketing presence.

At Gladiator Foam, we’re proud of managing to keep our business going for 40 years, in these turbulent times, grateful for our customers, and excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for supporting a small UK business that continues to make a big impact — with big foam hands.
