KJK Ropeworks KJK Ropeworks manufacture high quality rope and braid dog leads, established in 1983.
Kevin Keatley, Founder and Proprietor gave us the background to his company, " From my time diving in the North Sea I had learnt the skills of ropes and knots. A time at college studying farming and farm management gave me the knowledge to start my own business. I had made leads and halters to earn some money through college." "Going around pet shops with a cardboard box with my handy work was a start, but the message I got was "we buy our leads through a wholesaler". This soon put me in the right direction and a few summer shows proved there was a market - my leads were selling like hot cakes and 1983 was my first proper year in business." "Over the last 25 years the company has steadily grown, seeing off a couple of recessions and a dramatic market change to overseas manufacture. But our company has always concentrated on making a quality British product and offering a good service. That's why we are a great success story. Whether it's just one lead, specially made, or a thousand leads it's the same high quality and service." When we met with Kevin, and saw the quality of his product, we knew we had to add it to the store. All KJK rope leads are hand spliced, and braided leads are stitched with an industrial sewing machine - no metal crimps, plastic moulding or glue used. There's a wide range of sizes and colours to choose from including braid. They also make a range of traditional whistle lanyards in cord and leather. We also love their traditional knot ball dog toy - a traditional knot with a loop. But it's not just us who love KJK leads, they are used and recommended by dog trainers and behaviourists, dog clubs, bread societies, dog wardens, kennels, the RSPCA and police dog trainers.
Congratulations to Kevin and everyone at KJK Ropeworks on a Great British Product!
