Encouraged by the man himself –  Mr. Mohammed Al Fayed,  after presenting him with a real Havana 24ct. gold plated cigar in Harrods, Laban says “Mr Al Fayed is one of the nicest men I have ever met he really encourages me when ever I see him to become a billionaire like him”


Neasden and the Sri Murugan are two of the largest Hindhu temples out side of Eastern Asia every single block of marble, stone, ornament even tiles for the roof were imported from India except of course the gold that was obtained from Goldgenie:

After gold plating religious artefacts, statues and fittings in both temples within 2 years of each other, Laban says that when Goldgenie got the job of gold plating the temple’s he asked why was he picked over the other companies to take on this project, the answer given by the committee in charge of works told him “ We prayed about it and your company was presented to us”

The Neasden temple is an ongoing project with the last job being the gold plating of the dieties crowns (we are not allowed to display pictures of this)


We told you last month that Laban would be presenting an award at the prestigious Macworld Awards. Well, it happened and the evening was a great success.

Laban presented the evening’s Grand Prix Award for the best product among all those winning their categories on the evening. Bento by FileMaker took the votes and Laban handed over the special trophy to FileMaker’s Northern Europe Regional Manager, Tony Speakman.

With Laban in the photo are, from left to right, Richard West (Apple’s UK & Ireland Business Manager, Print & Publishing), Ingrid Kirschner (Apple UK’s Senior Account Executive for Distribution), and Georgina Dias (Apple’s UK & Ireland Product Manager for iPod, TV, Mac mini, and iMac).

You can also watch a 10-minute video of the awards highlights here – look out for Laban from about the 7:05 mark.


The picture below shows the special gold-plated Apple iPods we made for Roman Abramovich and his girlfriend Daria Zhukova on Valentine’s Day earlier this year.

As an extra touch, we also laser etched the two iPods with ‘His’ and ‘Hers’. In Russian, of course!

The idea for the gifts came from Goldgenie backer and Dragons’ Den judge James Caan, who is an avid Chelsea fan. We can only hope that using the iPods on the trip back from the Champions League final in Moscow brought some consolation.
