Our History - recently celebrating 150 years

In 1867, the Great Great Grandfather of the current Managing Director, Simon Goodman, escaped from Poland and set up Ludski B and Son in Commercial Road in Shoreditch, London. Barnet Ludski was a craftsman Goldsmith who made badges, ornaments and other accoutrements by hand for the military. In the initial stages of the company, he also made Medical Instruments. During the 20th century, the business developed into more fashion led products, including buttons, buckles, badges, chain belts and swimwear accessories. In 1933, Ludlow & Co Ltd was created and the factory moved to different sites around London until settling in 1965 on Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, where we are still located today.
