Arbry©

The History of Arbry and Arbry Linens

When our founding fathers created the Arbry© brand name in 1947 they wanted to encapsulate the core values of their newly emerging company to be known as ‘Thomas Kneale and Co Ltd’.

Our Arbry© linen brand name was to reflect the core beliefs and values the company subscribed to in 1947 and still subscribes to over 60 years later!

We hope that in seeing the Arbry© brand name our customers will understand and feel these core beliefs.

These are:

Providing a genuine quality service and real value for money respect for the individual
A clear policy to develop the potential of every employee in the company
To guarantee equality of opportunity and respect for everyone
To value the past but to embrace the future with continuous improvement
To welcome both evolutionary change and new textile technologies
To keep in harmony with and to remain true to our customers’ needs and aspirations
To protect the environment and promote global ethical issues

These values saturate every fibre of Thomas Kneale and Arbry, constantly energising its interaction with both the supply chain and distribution channels.

In today’s highly competitive market we seek to provide excellent service and value underpinned by trust, loyalty, integrity and respect. We hold that this will both create and nurture an important relationship with our customers that is neither short lived or opportunistic but one spanning the long term and being fully sustainable, honest and dependable.

We hope that whenever you see the Arbry© brand name, these positive feelings and emotions will be aroused within you, our valued customer.
