Customer Testimonials

"Sustainability is simply about meeting the needs of today without compromising the future needs of our children and their children. We should always be mindful that whenever possible our actions both at home and at work have a positive impact on people and the environment."

Martin Haworth, Head of Technical and Design

“Hainsworth is the preferred cloth brand at Liberty Games. We use cloth cuts from across the Hainsworth range for our pool and snooker tables, with consistently excellent feedback from our customers.”

Liberty Games

“I have been using Hainsworth products from almost day one of launching my company. My favourites are the Elite Pro and Precision. The Elite Pro beats any other speed cloth, and the range of colours is amazing. The Precision is the best quality in the high-end cloth market, I am always excited when I get to work with it.”

Robert Bondi, The Pool Table Guy

"Our new garments definitely feel lighter. The new kit keeps us cooler when working for long periods of time at high intensity."
