The Mill Tackle Company, from 2001 to Present Day.
Former Assembly Manager of J W Young & Sons Ltd., Garry Mills, formed The Mill Tackle Company in 2001 to provide a reel repair and restoration service, specialising in Allcocks and J W Young centrepins. Since then he has also produced a small number of hand-built centrepin reels.
In April 2008, The Mill Tackle Company acquired the manufacturing facilities of Concept Engineering & Design, a small engineering company run by Jim Young (ex-director of J W Young & Sons Ltd.), and Garry has since been joined by his son, James Mills.
