150 years of Brook International

In 2021 we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cyrus Brook founding C B Brook & Co. 

This huge milestone year provides us with an opportunity to honour the vision, dedication and hard work of all those who have played their part in our long and illustrious history.

Their passion is echoed today in our people’s work with our clients and partners to create and deliver the finest textiles for the flag and banner market.

Maintaining and growing a successful business for 150 years takes more than passion and pride alone.

Regarding the anniversary, Managing Director Chris Melia said: “Our longevity reflects our ability to understand and anticipate the needs of our customers, innovating and adapting in response to an ever-changing world.”

“Creating strength through stability, it also speaks of our family culture, our entrepreneurial spirit and the enduring values that run through our business.”

“This milestone provides an opportunity to stand proud and reflect, both on where we have come from and our plans for the future.”

Our rich history of textile manufacturing excellence and technical innovation has helped shape Britain’s industrial landscape and contributed to raising standards in the industry.

It is a legacy which we are determined to build on, as we look to realise our vision for the future.
