THE STORY

As a 16 year old apprentice, Julian entered the rare trade of podshaving.  His mentor and master bat maker, the late John Newbery, expected only the finest quality with an exceptional eye for detail.  Julian continues with John’s impeccable standards and has been a leading figure in cricket bat development over the last three decades. 

In 1987 Julian, along with Jonathan Hall, established the Millichamp & Hall brand which, quickly became the most sort after and desirable cricket equipment used by club cricketers and test players around the globe. 

In 1994 Millichamp & Hall Australia became part of Puma Australia and, with Julian’s unique skills, was the start of a remarkable success story for what is still today a major force in cricket.

In 2005 Julian embarked on his most challenging enterprise, creating his new brand, Screaming Cat, with the emphasis on his fundamental roots; 100% hand making and grading tailor made cricket bats direct to cricket players. 

Julian only uses the finest imported English willow in all of his cricket bats and, combined with 30 years of experience, ensures that your exclusive Screaming Cat cricket bat will serve you well into the future.
