Saddle makers since 1985.
Albion is the latest saddlery brand to join LIM Group. In doing so, it contributes to our horse-centric vision with its excellence and love for very British dressage.
Albion Saddle Makers was created in 1985 by Paul and Sherry Belton and has become a leading brand for dressage riders around the globe. Over the years, the brand has inspired others around the world and is now recognized for its design, quality, and the sensations its saddles provide.
The Belton family has been preparing a corporate handover for two years, culminating in this merger with LIM. By anticipating this change, values and expertise have been passed on, which will ensure perfect continuity for fans of the brand.
For LIM, which has always striven to uphold the individual identity of each of the group’s brands, the decision to maintain the production site in Walsall, close to Birmingham (West Midlands, United Kingdom), while respecting the quality and service standards that customers already expect, was an obvious one. Albion artisans’ expertise is unique and LIM Group is proud to become its guarantor.
LIM has full confidence in the Managing Director, Cath Gordon, who has worked over the past two years to ensure the continuity of the brand with the teams located in England.
