Geoff Wymer is now out of business :(
« on: April 02, 2015, 11:40:38 AM »

To all wicket keepers out there, I've just spoke to Geoff on the phone, very nice man indeed. Unfortunately due to Health issues he no longer makes them.

Does anyone know a name of an alternative custom made wicket keeping glove brand or manufacturer?

Thanks

Luke

No problem buddy. I know for a fact he hand makes the gloves but I couldn't tell you what the prices are, I haven't ordered any from him but a guy from my club has been using him for years after sending an email to Jack Russell and getting a personal recommendation. His service is great apparently but he usually only deals in emails if I recall correctly, if you try call him it's usually his Mrs who picks up the phone and hilarity generally ensues apparently!

I suggest sending him an email and seeing what he's got for you.

Just Spoke to the bloke for about an hour on the phone. He read my email and and called me!

There's a big waiting like for his gloves. But he's sorting my old ones out for me.

There will be a website going live soon. So keep looking around for him people!

Hello to all the folks on this forum.
It's my sad duty to inform you that Geoff passed away last Wednesday at the age of 83.
It was always a source of wonder and pride to him when I showed him the comments and compliments on this blog and others about his work. Thank you for your patronage of his work and your kind words, they mean an awful lot. Hopefully he'll be enjoying a pint with Brian Close. Xx

I'm sure he'll be making gloves for the big guy above. RIP
