The Phoenix Brand
-
Cooke Brothers was established in 1872 when the sons of William Cooke set up business
in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, manufacturing brass cabinet fittings.
-
The company established the Phoenix brand over 100 years ago, when many of the products
were cast from molten metal produced in open furnaces.
-
Today, over 130 years later, Cooke Brothers is a modern, UK based manufacturer known
for high quality products, flexible manufacturing facilities and competitive products
and service.
-
Now the Phoenix brand spans a greater product portfolio than at any time in the
company's history. Phoenix products remain a core part of the company's activities.
