I'm kinda new to this, so any help would be appreciated.....Anyone know how i'd go about making a sign like this with the bevelled edge and gradient light effect please?

You need this with personalization? Or just how to do it generally?

Generally: draw a rectangle and then make the 2 bottom corners with inside rounding in the transform panel or using the widget.

Then apply a fat stroke and apply the 3D & materials Inflate just to that stroke in the Appearance panel. Set the material to Gold and adjust to your delight

For the text: you could apply a gradient to it or also use 3D & materials.

It's really just the plaque I need to make, I will try to follow your instructions and find all the bits, yours looks amazing, you've made it look so easy....to this novice it seems super complex! Thanks for your advice x

One thing is important to note: This will not be a pure vector image.

If you need this in pure vector for some reason, then you will need to do it differently (and it will depend on your needs what is appropriate) e.g. like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4XkVXaK39I

Do you need this vector? I would do in Photoshop where you have Bevel & Emboss layer effect.
