Following a hand injury sustained whilst playing cricket, I am continuing to recover. As a result, I am still accepting work, but in a very limited capacity while my hand heals.
Please be aware that turnaround times will be longer than usual, particularly for labour-intensive services such as repairs, refurbishments and knocking in. Every bat will continue to receive the same care and attention as always, but I appreciate your patience whilst I recover.
In addition, the workshop will be closed during the following periods due to prior commitments:
During these dates, I will be unable to carry out any of the following services:
If you require work to be completed, I would encourage you to book your bat in either before these dates or once I return.
Enquiries are always welcome, and I will respond as soon as possible, although replies may occasionally take a little longer than normal while I recover.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support of Thorne Cricket. Your support is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to getting your bat back into the best possible condition.
