Services
In 2017, brothers Dave and Shaun Fox bought the Ballcraft business from founders and owners John & Lesley Ingleby. The Ingleby's had been running the engraving business in Almondbury, Huddersfield for 30 years but were excited to see it move into a new family-oriented era. Now under new ownership, Dave and Shaun hope to take the skills that John has imparted upon them from his vast experience and apply it with more modern practices.
The Ballmarker was designed and produced by John Ingleby, the original founder of Ballcraft. Using the Ballmarker in Snooker speeds up play and is now used worldwide for a more accurate, controlled marking system. We are the only UK producer of the Ballmarker and can provide personalised versions which make an excellent, unique gift or keepsake.
We provide a wide variety of trophies to engrave onto. For sporting awards (football, cricket, rugby, golf, snooker, bowls, tennis are all in stock) and academic achievements, we have the trophy to match your occasion or award. Our range offers everything from large silver cups too small glass plates, and from annual shields to brass modelled trophies.
Due to our skill and attention to detail, we are able to engrave most metallic based products. This means we regularly engrave silver cups, tankards and hip flasks as personalised gifts to mark special occasions. How about a personalised picture frame for a wedding anniversary, or a money box engraved for a christening?
At Ballcraft we have the equipment to bring well-worn trophies back to life. Whether it be a league trophy handed down through decades of winners, or a single winner who has kept their trophy for a lifetime. We can shine new life into the metalwork through our trophy repairs. Using our special buffing and blasting machines we can force out the dust, grime and dirt that has built up, leaving behind raw silver.

I called in to ask if they could repair a trophy my Dad had won as a young man, over 55 years ago. It was in a pretty bad state. They did an excellent job fixing it up, they were able to do it there and then and at a really good price. I would definitely recommend, Great guy, really friendly and helpful.

I cannot recommend these guys enough. I had a brass memorial plaque that was fitted incorrectly by a 3rd party. Ballcraft were shocked by the state of the plaque and offered to fully replace it and as they were near to where the plaque was fitted, they offered to remove the damaged one and fit the new one. This meant so much to us as a family and I cannot express how grateful we are for the level of service and care given by Ballcraft. You guys went above and beyond anything I expected. Thank you so much.

I decided to have 48 pint pots and a tankard engraved. I only gave Dave 4 days to do this. No Problem at all.
The service was exceptional, the communication was exceptional, the workmanship was exceptional the whole experience was a joy.
Top job by a Top man.
If I could give more stars I would.
Recommended to all my work colleagues, friends and facebook.

Amazing level of care from Sharon and Dave. They truly care about what they do and are so lovely and down to earth.
I got an engraved watch as a gift from my fiancé a couple of months ago and I love it, so in return I made a 1hr round trip here to get a watch engraved to gift back, it looks absolutely lovely. Definitely worth the drive and at a really great price.
Would 100% recommend - they can engrave just about anything!

Sharon and Dave are absolutely brilliant. If you want a trustworthy, professional, caring and lovely experience then you need to go here. They engraved the back of a watch for me and it was exactly how I wanted it, if not better. I'm chuffed and my girlfriend is going to love it when I gift it to her on our anniversary. I even asked to get a little heart on it after the date last minute and Dave did this for me no problem and it looks 10/10 super. Sharon helped me to choose which quote to put on the back of the watch and they were really friendly and gave honest and lovely advice. They got the
