A little about Charles Bentley & Son Ltd:
Believe it or not, Charles Bentley has been around since 1860, when we originally provided brushes for Victorian chimney sweepers! We still manufacture and distribute an extensive range of brushes from our sites in Loughborough – around 2 million per year!
We’re also now a global supplier of stylish and fantastic quality home, garden and leisure products. Not only do we sell directly to consumers, we work with equally established High Street brands such as Next, Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Wilko to name a few.
From dining sets to children’s outdoor toys and all things in between, we take the hard work out of shopping for your home by giving shoppers thousands of products to choose from. We leave no stone unturned and keep an eye on the latest trends so that you’ll always find something new and up to date – just without the designer price tag!
A big part of our philosophy is only selling products that we have discovered, created or made ourselves. Each product is put through its paces until we’re satisfied and it’s only then that we’ll put our name on it and give our seal of approval. If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for you.
