Our Story

Our company's journey began in Bristol, where William Rawlings started collecting, washing, and selling empty glass bottles to local wine merchants. In 1927, Leonard Routley joined the company at the tender age of 15. He eventually took over as sole owner and expanded the business by importing glass bottles and jars from manufacturers worldwide. Today, the Routley family remains the proud owner of Rawlings, continuing the legacy of providing innovative packaging solutions.
