In the late 1970s, Diana & Ben Porter purchased Warren House, a ruined property located in a Somerset woodland. The pair steadily rebuilt the house and found that the woodland was mainly populated by ash trees, and it was suitable for growing raw material used for making rustic walking sticks. Ben applied the traditional forestry technique of coppicing the trees, thus starting the production of walking sticks. In 1982, they presented a small range of sticks to the local shopkeepers, they later requested a wider selection of sticks. The walking stick business grew increasingly to include more products. The children, Charlotte and Johnny, joined the family business & became partners in 2005.
