Good to know about Robert Welch Designs

Robert Welch Designs is a British brand whose founder, Robert Radford Welch, studied silversmithing at the Royal College of Art and left London for Gloucestershire after graduating in 1955, renting a room in a disused 18th century Silk Mill in Chipping Campden. The brand is still based in that same building and supplies over 100 countries while retaining its Cotswold identity, with designs found in homes, cathedrals, universities, embassies, hotels, restaurants, cruise liners, airlines and museums worldwide. Its stated values include enhancing the everyday with impactful, long-lasting design for the table, kitchen and home, manufacturing so products can be daily used and stand the test of time, and working with stainless steel, a material it has specialised in since the 1950s. Knives, including cutlery knives, are 18+ age restricted items in the UK, so age verification takes place on sales and deliveries and DPD will only hand an age restricted parcel to someone who can provide valid photo ID at the door.
