William Turner - Master cutler

 
In 1887 the country celebrated Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, 50 years as Queen. One in four of the world’s population was a subject of the crown. William Gladstone was a prominent politician when William Turner started a business in Sheffield smelting and refining gold and silver. The company quickly expanded into rolling other metals and manufacturing cutlery. The majority of the company’s early production was supplied to other cutlers for finishing and sale under their own name. In essence, William Turner was the “cutlers’ cutler”.
William Turner founded the company in 1887 with his close friend Mr R.J. Brown. The company was first engaged in the refining and smelting of precious metals. William Turner had close links with the Sheffield community – he was a director of the Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and became Sheffield Lord Mayor elect in 1906 shortly before his death. He was succeeded by his son William Glasier Turner O.B.E, who was also a Director and Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.
In the early 1930′s the company designed two of the classic Sheffield patterns Jesmond and Harley which are still, to this day, copied worldwide.
William Turner’s tradition as a master cutler lives on and the company continues to produce the highest quality Sheffield cutlery in Hallmarked Sterling Silver, Silver Plate and Stainless Steel. Each and every piece is individually guaranteed for the lifetime of the purchaser and all the patterns featured on this Website are timeless, possessing an elegance and quality that will never date.
Remember, there’s cutlery and there’s William Turner Cutlery, and by choosing Sheffield’s best, you are making an investment that will not only provide you with a lifetime of pleasure, but will serve generations to come.

British Ceramic Tiles

British Ceramic Tile is an ultra-modern and energy efficient manufacturer of ceramic tiles based in Devon. We continue a long and proud tradition of potters and tile makers who over the years have been inspired by our breathtaking location on the edge of Dartmoor.

Today, most of the ceramic tiles sold in Britain are imported. We aim to change this by producing better quality, better value ceramic tiles that are specifically designed to fulfill the tiling needs of the UK market. British Ceramic Tile has invested over £40 million in production equipment to enable us to create high quality and beautifully designed tiles efficiently and at competitive prices.

Our manufacturing process already uses 20% less energy to produce tiles than the average for our industry. We are constantly striving to improve our efficiency through the innovative use of new materials and taking steps to make our processes even more efficient.  The raw materials that make up ceramic tiles are heavy and the financial and environmental expenses associated with moving them around are high. As we manufacture here in the UK, adjacent to our raw materials, this has enabled us to significantly reduce our energy use in transportation and allows us to offer better value for money to our customers than most of our competitors.
