The Company

Cooke Brothers was established in 1872 in the jewellery quarter of Birmingham by the sons of William Cooke a Lancastrian in the cotton industry. The business concentrated on the production of hinges, prospered and grew, relocating several times within the industrial heart of the city until in 1960 a green-field site in adjoining Staffordshire was purchased as the base for a purpose built factory. Since then the premises have been expanded several times and recently the adjacent properties have been purchased to give a current site area of over 4 acres with a further 3 acres available for future expansion.
You cannot sell a company on its history alone however, all this experience of combining enterprise and flexibility with caution and tradition are the foundations upon which the company thrives today and out of which has come the Phoenix Architectural Hinge range. Our hinges are acknowledged as world class products by global professionals.
