Founded as a limited company in 1952, Bolton Bros have been manufacturing orthoses and supplying an orthotic service to clinics in the North East of England since the beginning of the National Health Service.  Our workshops also manufacture orthoses for many companies, NHS Trusts and private customers throughout the UK.

Bolton Bros are famous for their skills in the design and manufacture of prescription footwear for a wide range of conditions including diabetes and arthritis.  Such modern "Orthopaedic footwear" is often stylish and beautifully crafted - within the limits of what is possible for an individuals clinical prescription. 

Our head office and workshops are situated in Newcastle upon Tyne and we have offices and showrooms for the retail sales of rehabilitation equipment in the Bristol area.  Our Bristol premises and fitting rooms have been servicing clinics in the South West of England for over 20 years.

We were awarded the Quality Standard BS5750/ISO9002 in 1992 and in April 1997 we attained the European Standard EN 46002(1994) for our manufacturing activities. Our manufactured stock orthoses also carry the European CE mark. The company presently employs 38 staff including 4 orthotists and 2 limited function fitters ( both male and female). Bolton Bros now incorporate the skills and resources of Munro Bolton Orthotics with 4 orthotists who service NHS clinics in the Glasgow and surrounding districts of the West of Scotland.

In recent years Bolton Bros. have reorganised the management structure to include key members of staff to form a management team. The management team consists of the company accountant, clinic/orthotic manager, production manager and sales and marketing consultant, thus giving a wider and more balanced overview of the company. As members of associated professional bodies we are constantly being updated on new products and practises and are able to use this information to the benefit of patients. Our personnel are encouraged to attend educational courses and exhibitions and staff have contributed to training courses offered by the University of Strathclyde on the topic of prescription footwear.
