The family business was established in 1830 as a brush manufacturer supplying the steel and coal industry, and later changed to producing lorry covers, tarpaulins and items made from canvas in the post-war period. It was following a request by Rotherham College to make knife wallets for the staff and students when the business decided to switch to solely service the catering and hospitality industries.
