David and Pennie Bradley launched The Hardwicke Collection in September 1991, to manufacture high quality, exclusive designs of sterling silver and silver plated giftware. David had more than a quarter of a century of experience in the silver industry and he felt that there was a big gap in the marketplace for top quality, English made gifts. Their factory is located in Birmingham, England, on the outskirts of the world famous Jewellery Quarter.

The success of this original premise has led to the expansion into gifts made from: pewter, crystal, glassware, mahogany, bronze, and gold. As one of the few remaining British manufacturers of silverware in the UK, The Hardwicke Collection specialises in personal gifts, desk accessories, children’s and Christening gifts. Corporate gifts, both from the normal range and, also, specifically designed for clients’ requirements, form a large part of the business.
