A.R. Fabb Bros. Ltd. was formed in 1887 the year of Queen Victorias Golden
Jubilee. The company was established at 21-22 Chapel Street, in the City of
London, near the Barbican. At this time, there were as many as 40 Gold Wire
Embroidery Companies working in London. The average wage at that time for
Embroidery workers was 1.00 per week, and was one of the few trades for women
that did not have the stigma of factory work.
The Army and Navy, here and in India, as well as Freemasonry, required a large
amount of embroidery. A. R. Fabb Bros. Ltd records show a large export in
Embroidery for the Greek, Japanese and Argentine Navy as well as most Steamship
companies of the world.
When Fabbs was formed, a Royal Navy Cap Badge in Gold Wire cost 5/6 (27
pence) and the heavily embroidered Epaulettes 5 5s 0d. (5.25.) Freemasonry and
other Societies all wore regalia and this provided plenty of work for A. R. Fabb
Bros. Ltd. who then moved to Coxs Court, Little Britain. These premises were
next to George Kenning, another famous Gold Wire Embroidery Company. By
the time the 1914/18 war occurred, a M.M. Apron cost 10/- (50p) and Provincial
Regalia 47/- (2.35p.), Officers Collars were 5/- (25p.), and the beautifully
embroidered 18th Collar 2 2s 0d. (2.10p.)
The return to civilian life after the First World War brought the growth of Clubs;
Golf, Tennis and Football. Blazers were fashionable and so were Badges. Exports,
particularly to South Africa were strong. By the end of the 1930s A.R. Fabb Bros.
Ltd had also supplied gold Wire Embroidery to the Nizam of Hyberabad, the richest
Prince of India who ruled a country as large as France. The M.M. Apron had now
reached a cost of 1 2s 6d (1.13p), Provincial Regalia was 10 0s 0d, and the solid
leather case was an extra 2 0s 0d. A complete Lodge could be fitted out for 165
0s 0d including the carpet and all the furniture.
By this time, many Gold Wire Embroidery Companies had fallen by the wayside
and the Second World War caused the demise of many more. Bombs destroyed the
premises of A.R. Fabb Bros. Ltd. in the Blitz of 1940. The workforce was reformed
at 15-17 Market Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire, and the war years were spent
manufacturing Badges and Insignia for the Army, Navy and Air Force. This
included the Free French, Dutch and Polish Forces that had come to Britain to
carry on the war against Germany.
The company lost the Imperial Japanese Naval Embroidery contracts in 1939 but
gained work from the US Army that came to the United Kingdom. They also made
Badges for the Clandestine Forces of the Commando Raiders without the
knowledge of what or who they were for at that time.
At the end of the War, the demand for Masonic Regalia increased; at this point,
Mrs Quick joined the Company to help expand and develop this area. Shortages
were rife; raw materials were difficult to obtain; everything required coupons
or was on ration. More gold wire companies disappeared. Business had expanded
into Film and Theatrical work which coincided with Mr. John Fabbs return from
the Forces, bringing his added knowledge and expertise in this field. Airline
companies, Security Services and Civic Regalia were added to the Ceremonial
Clothing and accoutrements required by the Army, Navy and Air Force.
At the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the company embroidered the coat for
the Colonel of the Life Guards. The few companies left in the trade had the
contracts for the coronation divided between them so that it would all be ready on
that great day. A.R. Fabb Bros. Ltd. Masonic work expanded even further and new
markets were found for their Regalia in Australia and New Zealand, South and East
Africa, the West Indies and South America.
In 1969, due to the redevelopment of Maidenhead Town Centre, the business
premises were set up at Waldeck House. This was a modern development in the
flatted factory style; so modern that it was frequently visited by councils from other
towns interested in this type of development. A.R. Fabb Bros. Ltd. continued in the
manufacture and sale of Masonic Regalia and it was here that Mr. Adrian Quick
joined the company. New markets were found abroad and others consolidated.
By the 1980s the company was looking for its own building and in 1983 the
company purchased new premises at 29-31 Risborough Road, Maidenhead. These
premises were rebuilt and extended in 1986. Although competition has increased in
the Masonic Regalia trade, A.R. Fabb Bros. Ltd. have been able to continue the
high standard of workmanship and personal service that our customers have come
to expect.
In 1987 the company reached its centenary and Mr Adrian Quick was made a
Director and has expanded the Masonic Market particularly abroad. To keep up
with modern developments he has also put the company on the Internet with its
own web site.
In 1997, the Companys 110th year, the three directors also accumulated 110
years of service. Mrs. Ena Quick 50 years, Mr. John Fabb 40 years and Mr. Adrian
Quick 20 years.
