Welcome to Thorne Cricket, your trusted specialists in cricket bat maintenance and refurbishment. Founded in 2022, Thorne Cricket has been committed to delivering high-quality services and products to cricket enthusiasts and clubs throughout the UK.

Thorne Cricket was established in 2022 by Stephen Thorne, a passionate cricketer with a keen eye for craftsmanship in the sport of cricket. What began as a hobby soon evolved into a thriving business, catering to cricket players of all levels. He is an active member of Chingford Cricket Club and serves on the club's committee as Social Media Officer. Chingford Cricket Club features five Saturday teams and two Sunday teams, along with Colts teams for all age groups. After a few years away due to family reasons, he returned to playing for Chingford Cricket Club in 2021. His love for the game of cricket and commitment to his club has inspired him to explore ways to assist others by offering his own services related to all aspects of cricket. We aim to provide comprehensive services to meet the needs of all cricketers and clubs.

Our team currently only consists of Stephen Thorne, who shares a love for cricket and the maintenance of cricket bats. With cricket bat maintenance being the company's main focus, we have supplied clubs with headwear and jumpers.

At Thorne Cricket, we believe in the spirit of the cricket game. Our mission is to provide exceptional service and expert advice to cricket players and clubs. We aim to be the trusted partner for all your cricketing needs. Our goal is to ensure that every cricketer has access to top-notch services that enhance their cricket game. Thank you for choosing Thorne Cricket. We look forward to serving you.

At Thorne Cricket, we believe that cricket and other sports play a vital role in the physical and mental well-being of individuals.

From his early days of playing cricket, Stephen was very interested in maintaining his own cricket bats. Since establishing Thorne Cricket, he has gained vast experience in all aspects of cricket bat maintenance. We are dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible advice and guidance on choosing the right cricket equipment to suit their needs and budget.

As you know, Thorne Cricket was established in 2022 with a vision to provide high-quality cricket bat maintenance services. We are still relatively small in stature, based in Chingford and we cater to players from local cricket clubs through word of mouth and social media. However, we are hoping to grow and become a trusted name in the cricket bat maintenance industry.
