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.
