Our Story
As a result of local demand, Philip Pratt established a bell rope making business in Sutton, Surrey in 2007.
Over time the business has grown steadily and we now have bell ropes in towers throughout the United Kingdom and Australia. In late 2011 we relocated to new premises in Bristol and the Avon Ropes brand has been established as a result of this.
Since the outset we have worked hard to source natural materials and use traditional skills to produce high quality bell ropes. We are proud that our wool is sheared, processed and dyed all without leaving the UK.
We are able to supply bell ropes made from both Hemp and Flax fibre. Both our Hemp and Flax is sourced directly from their mills in southern Europe.
We have worked hard with our suppliers to ensure that our pre-stretched polyester has the minimum stretch for bell ropes and have developed patent pending Dyneema technology joint for the ultimate zero-stretch rope.
We have developed the necessary skills within the workforce and manufactured our own dedicated bell rope making machinery which is automated with state of the art computer controlled programming to ensure accurate and repeatable control over the manufacturing process.
We pride ourselves in our quality of workmanship and our attention to customer requirements.
