Millichamp & Hall - A SHORT HISTORY
Julian Millichamp and Jonathan Hall started up M & H in l987.
Working from a farm in rural Somerset they quickly began
to make a name for themselves as batmakers to the stars
of the day. Many Test and County professionals flocked
to their door irrespective of whichever cricket company
they were contracted to. They simply re-stickered their
M & H bat with their own sponsor's logo.
In 1994, Julian sold his interest in the company and
moved out to Australia to set up the new Millichamp -
Puma operation. Jonathan Hall remained at the helm,
Henry Greswell bought a small financial interest and
James Laver arrived to make bats.
The firm moved to their Taunton HQ in 1996.
Jonathan Hall sold the company to Henry Greswell
and Rob Chambers joined the bat-making team under
James Laver. James left in 1999 to set up his own
company in New Zealand with partner, George Wood.
Henry Greswell sold the company at the beginning
of 2001 to Rob Chambers, now the senior batmaker
who also assumed the additional mantle of Managing
Director. The famous M & H shop moved into the
main M & H building and life continued on as usual.
