Following the hand injury I sustained whilst playing cricket, I am pleased to confirm that I have now been given the all-clear by the hospital to resume normal activities.
As a result, Thorne Cricket is once again accepting all types of work, including bat repairs, refurbishments, knocking in, preparation and other specialist services.
I am continuing to rebuild strength in my hand and work through the existing workload accumulated during my recovery, so turnaround times may remain slightly longer than usual in the short term. I will provide the most realistic timescale possible when your bat is received.
As always, every bat will receive the same level of care, attention and workmanship, and I will never rush a job simply to reduce the turnaround time.
Enquiries and new bookings are very welcome.
Thank you to everyone who has shown patience, understanding and support throughout my recovery. It has been greatly appreciated, and I'm looking forward to getting back to full capacity at Thorne Cricket.
