I can't wait to get into Southpaw's thread - not long to go.


Tell me about it, 150 is a lot of posts to accumulate!
There should be a master list of bats which a made by Keeley but sold under different brands, and the tell tale signs. I see people comment on the shoulder shape but I can't really see anything about the shoulders on mine that are a trademark shape.

Sorry didn’t mean to like that! Meant to say the same as Tom- who do you think makes a Keeley if not Keeley :D
..

Keeley Cricket could have other batmakers apart from TK, so wondering if the lower grades are handled by someone else as obviously Tim Keeley would find it difficult to do all by himself.

Tim has got brothers who also make a damn good bat as the family own a saw mill, it wouldn’t make much sense to outsource production beyond their own set-up.

Who was the fella pictured in The Guardian 'giving the finishing touches' to a Keeley bat?  I can't remember the name; but not Keeley, so not a brother.

Thanks for all your advice

As I get 50% back from my place of work (leisure account) with a Vat receipt
it is often cheaper to pay more with likes of Keeley, M&H than other suppliers who don't do Vat

Nice little offering from work then!

With those prices they don't have to sell many bats to be over the VAT threshold :)

Not on companies house, just Tim and Nick.

Under another name they did have a family member from the timber merchant business listed, but now resigned.

Tim, Nick main men. Fred also makes a lovely bat but does so less these days. Kev isn’t related to them but has worked for various cricket bat manufacturers and does the finishing on the bats :)
