OUR BRAND ESSENCE
OUR STORY
Riley was originally established, in 1897, as a humble sports shop in Manchester. By 1912, the Company had diversified
into manufacturing Snooker tables in Accrington. It soon produced 4000 full size tables a year and exported to all parts
of the globe.
By the mid 1920’s the Riley brand, based upon creative design, quality materials and immaculate craftsmanship
had grown into a leading premium snooker tables, cues and accessories brand.
BCE was founded, in 1976. The Company started life as a distributor to the coin operator sector, supplying cues, balls
and table spares. By 1980, BCE had diversified into the manufacture of snooker tables. From 1982-1992 the BCE
Westbury snooker table was the table being used at all the World professional snooker tournaments and BCE had become
one of the biggest names in snooker.
In 2002, Stuart Lacey brought the Riley and BCE brands together within the same Group.
Today, Riley and BCE Snooker tables continue to be made in
Accrington, England. Our products have an aspirational mix of style, craftsmanship, per formance and desirabil ity, with many
of the sport’s leading professionals endorsing Riley and BCE products.
Our employees will ensure that our story continues by passing
our skil ls and values onto the next generation. Our highly skil led chief fitter, was trained by his father, and is now training his son, who wants to follow in the footsteps of his father and
grandfather.
