HISTORY

The first competitive game of hockey was played in 1874 and GRAYS were producing sticks from the earliest days. 

The original brand is derived from Henry John Gray who founded Grays Rackets and an accompanying retail shop. He later expanded the brand into other sports, notably cricket and tennis. 

From the early 1900s, the leading players in the world were having their GRAYS sticks fully customised and exported across the globe.  

In 1941, Alison and H.D Gray took over the business and acquired several other brands including 50 per cent of the world-renowned cricket bat business of L.J Nicolls.

GRAYS remains the choice of many of the world’s finest players, and the company is still owned and controlled by the Gray family to this day, making it a 6th generation family business.
