For more than 130 years, JS Wright & Sons has been a respected name in cricket bat manufacturing. Established in 1894, the company has built a reputation for producing premium English willow cricket bats using traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
Based in England, the home of English willow, JS Wright & Sons plays a vital role in every stage of the cricket bat-making process. Their involvement begins long before a bat reaches the crease. The company manages and cultivates English willow plantations, ensuring only the finest timber is selected for bat production.
Quality has always been at the heart of the business. Each willow cleft is carefully assessed before skilled craftsmen shape, press, and finish the bat. This attention to detail helps create cricket bats that deliver outstanding performance, durability, and pickup.
Over the decades, JS Wright & Sons has remained committed to preserving the traditional skills of cricket bat making. At the same time, they continue to embrace new technologies and manufacturing techniques. This combination of heritage and innovation has made them one of the most respected cricket bat makers in the world.
Their expertise extends far beyond bat production. Few companies are involved in the complete journey from willow tree to finished cricket bat. From planting and nurturing willow trees to crafting the final product, the process can take many years and requires exceptional knowledge and patience.
Today, JS Wright & Sons supplies willow and cricket bats trusted by players ranging from grassroots cricketers to professionals. Their dedication to quality and craftsmanship continues to set the benchmark within the cricket industry.
