Hidden away in a dusty corner of the famous M H workshop sits the finest willow we have ever produced. Our Special Reserve cleft selection is not about looks alone — it is built for one thing: performance. Hand-selected from the very best willow amassed over the last decade, these clefts are reserved for players who demand the absolute best of the best. Every now and then, a piece of wood arrives that is simply different. Cleaner grain. Superior balance. Effortless pickup. Explosive response through the middle. The kind of bat that serious players notice from the very first ball. This is the l

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as MILLICHAMP & HALL LIMITED, number 07190450. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "[The company has a] headquarters in Taunton [plus satellite locations in] Burnley, Oxford, and Acton" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
