Red ink
RK
Duncan Fernley
Warsop
Chase
GN
B3
GM
Solitaire

These off the top of my head are some (iv no doubt missed others) that either have a pod shaver or do large amounts of shaping them selves.

Nope. Not since 2013.

TK has been pressing and shaping the V12 and V6 since 2014 though.

Stac are still going on a very small scale too, I believe they shape pre-pressed clefts.

Ian - this is splitting hairs a little, but technically Newbery outsource the making of the bats to the Keeley brothers business.

Thanks for clarifying Buzz, much appreciated.

Hawk make bats from start to finish inc handles. David Banks is still at Stourbridge cc and when I asked my teammate  during the  summer who is  a former Fearnley sponsored player who still goes there for his bats he told me they make some  Slazenger bats.

It is heartwarming that some of the newer ones have proved to be both popular and good.

Hunts?

I heard a rumour (only a rumour) that hunts are importing part made bats from a well know guy overseas as they cant keep up with demand.  When I say rumour, it came straight from his mouth.... not sure if theres any truth in it mind

Not all Hunts bats have been made in Huntingdon for quite a while.

You can defiantly add Norfolk Cricket Bats to the list after the 3 hours I have just spent with David.
