Warehouse Team
Warehouse Team
We've been in the business for more than 165 years.
The company was established in Bristol by William Rawlings in 1850, when glass was still being manufactured at two kilns in the city. Empty glass bottles were collected, washed and sold on to local wine merchants. An early example of entrepreneurial recycling!
In 1927, fifteen year-old Leonard Routley joined the company. He eventually took over as sole owner. It was around this time that the company began to import glass bottles and jars from manufacturers around the world, becoming the largest independent supplier to many of the UK's most popular brands. The Routley family are still the proud owners of Rawlings today.
