It’s genuinely sad to hear that Williams & Co Dutch Willow Specialists may be going into liquidation.

Whether you’re a customer, competitor, or simply someone who loves the game, it’s never easy to see a bat maker close its doors. Behind every handmade bat are countless hours of craftsmanship, passion, and dedication. More importantly, there are people, families, and livelihoods affected.

The cricket bat industry is a small community where innovation and craftsmanship should be celebrated. Every business that leaves the market is a loss to the sport we all love.

I sincerely hope everyone involved finds a way forward and that those affected come back stronger. Wishing the owners, employees, and their families all the very best during this difficult time.
