David Cook's Company Details
R.M. Williams is a distinguished Australian brand renowned for its premium handcrafted boots, saddlery, and apparel, deeply rooted in the rich heritage of the Australian bush. Founded in 1932 by Reginald Murray Williams AO, CMG, the company began its journey in the remote Gammon Ranges of South Australia, where R.M. Williams crafted his first pair of stockman’s riding boots alongside itinerant saddler Dollar Mick Smith. Over 85 years later, R.M. Williams has evolved into a global icon, offering a diverse range of products that include not only their signature boots but also a selection of accessories and stylish men's and women's apparel designed for both functionality and sustainability. With a commitment to quality craftsmanship, R.M. Williams operates 65 retail stores across Australia, alongside locations in New Zealand, the USA, and the UK, as well as over 900 stockists worldwide. This extensive reach underscores the brand's dedication to serving customers who appreciate the blend of traditional techniques and modern design. The company prides itself on using high-quality materials and sustainable practices, ensuring that each product is not only durable but also environmentally responsible. In 2020, R.M. Williams was acquired by Tattarang, an investment group owned by Andrew and Nicola Forrest, marking a significant return to Australian ownership. This strategic investment is set to bolster the brand's commitment to preserving its Australian craftsmanship while expanding its global presence. As R.M. Williams continues to thrive, it remains passionately connected to its origins, embodying the spirit of adventure and resilience that defines the Australian landscape.
