Jack Millington, Founder of Billy Tannery / Handmade Leather Bags
Manage episode 404579706 series 1129354
Billy Tannery was founded in 2016 by Jack Millington. A farmer’s son who spent his early career in marketing, he had no previous experience in the leather industry. After discovering that thousands of goatskins were going to waste each year in the UK, he joined forces with childhood friend Rory Harker to launch Billy Tannery. Tapping into local leather knowledge, Billy Tannery built a pioneering micro-tannery on a farm in the Midlands and the sustainable, bark-tanned leather now completes the circle. The first leather brand of its kind in the UK, with a vertically integrated supply chain from hide to final product, Billy Tannery is able to offer something extremely rare - genuinely traceable leather goods. The growing range of leather goods is designed and made in England for those who care about shopping locally and responsibly, without compromising on quality. Billy Tannery’s range of products includes bags, wallets, aprons and small leather goods. The company offers a lifetime repair guarantee on all of its products in an effort to ensure many generations of use, one of the main factors in making a product sustainable.
