Anyone know anything about them, or who's behind it?

One of the lads ar my club bought a bat from them, used for a few nets then snapped (could've been storm damage) but to be fair they replaced it very quickly from what he said with no issues and the replacement goes well

You'd just source some unbranded gear, wouldn't you?

I think located in Great Dunmow in Essex, and other brands near there?

Impression I got was they're all Kashmir willow, presumably subcontinental manufactured. Not sure exactly what they offer that a Sports Direct special doesn't but it's a nice idea.

That is just thier accountants address. The guys play their cricket at Great Baddow. And yes all just KW bats!

Nearest brands to Dunmow is probably: Dean @Vulcan Cricket. Then I have seen another bedroom brand selling stuff locally "Fletcher Cricket" their bats look like they are made by a fourm member based in Suffolk.
Then slightly larger brand would be Warsop.

I recently purchased a size 5 bat from them on behalf of a patron of my club for his grandson for less than £50 which I collected from their house in north west Chelmsford (conveniently it was not far from where my daughter goes to school). All their bats are Kashmir Willow.
