The company ethos is to design products that have personality, having functionality and affordability as important characteristics of any new product. New designs are constantly being introduced and can be found on this website and in the Robert Welch shops.

The shops in Chipping Campden and Warwick show our different product ranges for the home, with over twenty ranges of cutlery and an extensive selection of cookware, kitchen accessories, lighting and glassware.

Robert Welch M.B.E. , R.D.I.

Robert Welch trained as a Silversmith at Birmingham College of Art. He then moved to the Royal College of Art in 1952, where he specialized exclusively in stainless steel production design. His first design consultancy was for Old Hall Tableware in 1955. In 1965 he was awarded Royal Designer for Industry. Robert Welch's most important commissions are in the Victoria & Albert Museum, The British Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Canterbury Cathedral and No.10 Downing Street, but undoubtedly, his cutlery designs in stainless steel have been sold and used more widely than any other part of his creative output. Exhibits relating to Robert Welch can also be seen at the Court Barn Museum, Church Street, Chipping Campden GL55 6JE (01386 841951). The Court Barn Museum holds the Robert Welch Designs archive which can be viewed by appointment.
