Millichamp & Hall was founded in 1987 by Julian Millichamp and Jonathan Hall. For over 35 years we've been crafting high performance cricket bats for players of all ages and abilities. Robert Chambers, our Master Pod Shaver, has been producing cricket bats with Millichamp and Hall for 20 years and holds true to the M&H ethos of using only the finest English willow. Whilst Julian Millichamp and Jonathan Hall are no longer part of the team, our mission remains consistent with the goal of the founders; to get the very best performance out of each cleft of finest English Willow. The partners returned to the UK to prepare for the English summer and continued in the same modest fashion; crafting cricket bats on a workbench in a backroom of Jonathan Hall's Somerset based home. The Ashes tour of 1989 marked a significant achievement for the company; the high quality of Millichamp and Hall bats had grown in renown and by the end of the Ashes tour 11 of the 16 Australian tourists were using Millichamp and Hall bats, albeit disguised by the labels of their better known sponsors. By 1990 an impressive 27 of the top 40 Deloittes rated batsmen were using Millichamp and Hall cricket bats.
