Title: Keep it British
Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on February 11, 2013, 09:26:04 PM

I am looking for a little help from my cb buddies. In my quest to try and buy as much of my dressings for my kit made in Britain I am in the hunt for a company that makes high quality bat grips in the uk. Has anyone heard of any or know of one. There may be lads and i am oblivious to them. I wish all the softs could be done here too but can keep dreaming I suppose.
 This is an onward quest guys to create a face for a craft and a business, so our bats have a feeling of care,attention and love having gone into each one rather than just container loads of bats imported on ship ready for People to plunder through. Whilst I appreciate it is cheaper to buy from India or Pakistan the pure profit isn't the point here at Aldred cricket bats its the tradition and love of a game and the craft that matters as each bat that's made has as much attention and passion having gone into it as the last.
 If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Paradis Novo in Manchester - 0161 653 2789

Newbery, Mongoose all were using them and a number of forum brands.

Price isn't that much more than India, and the normal chevrons are lighter.

Good to know this, any ideas on MOQ or price?

Used to order custom in runs of 1000 and they cost about 70p.

Their stock models will probably be available in smaller runs, and at a cheaper price.
