Blake UK

In April 1971 Blake Aerials was established by Ron Blake in modest premises in central Sheffield, principally being involved in the manufacture of TV aerials for local consumption. Over the following years, as the business grew substantially, several relocations occurred. Blake Aerials acquired Jaybeam Domestic in 1990 and Rydale Engineering in 1996 to enhance the company's portfolio, as part of its strategy to move from being a local manufacturer to becoming the dominant UK manufacturer/supplier to the TV aerial and related industries. The company now operates from its own premises in three adjacent industrial units, with a total floor area of some 40,000 sq. ft. This capacity combined with the Strong Overseas Manufacturing Partners allows Blake UK to provide a range of excellent quality products at competitive prices. Remaining true to Ron’s original mantra that “the customer is king”, the current board and department heads continue to build on the reputation and success of the existing business, whilst exploring new opportunities. Blake’s list of satisfied customers now includes high profile retailers, both UK National Installation companies and Export to many International companies.
