About Brooks
In 1865 John Boultbee Brooks set out from his place of birth, Hinckley in Leicestershire, with little more to his name than ambition and £20 in his pocket. He made his way to Birmingham, where just one year later he established a business under his own name, producing harness and sundry leather goods for horses. Twelve years later, after the unfortunate death of his own horse, JB Brooks borrowed a bicycle for his commute to work. He was excited by the possibilities of this ingenious new mode of transportation, but pained to be seated upon its hard wooden saddle, and vowed to do something about it.

By the Autumn of 1882 he had filed the first of many patents for a leather bicycle saddle. The company expanded rapidly after the success of these revolutionary designs, producing many other new products for cycling, including outerwear and robust luggage. And on the way, becoming a byword in quality handcrafted goods. Brooks England Ltd. is one of the few survivors of the once-glorious British bicycle industry. In 2002 the company was acquired by Selle Royal S.p.A., an international cycling group headquartered in Italy, and has since been under new management whilst maintaining its production facilities in England.

Rather than follow the route of other former British manufacturers, Brooks instead has flourished, doubling its workforce and raising its annual turnover. Our factory in Smethwick, only a few miles removed from JB Brooks’ original premises, houses our skilled workforce who continue to use the same traditional machinery, some of which itself dates as far back as the 1940s and 1950s.
