Jack Oldham Textiles Ltd has over 30 years experience, supplying the Printing, Manufacturing, Engineering, Cleaning, and Automotive industries throughout the UK and Europe, with 100% cotton wipers, polishing cloths and hand wiper rags. We stock a vast range of cotton wiper rags for virtually any wiping, cleaning and polishing application. All of our wipers are selected from first class quality 100% cotton unless otherwise stated and are continually inspected for consistency. Each wiper is cut to a generous size to ensure that every wiper is usable, yet not too large to be wasteful. Our wipers are used in a wide number of commercial environments, from large multi-national organization, to small independent companies.

The company was established in 1976 by Jack Oldham. Jack was a senior purchasing manager for one of the UKs largest textiles manufactures. Jack was asked by a number of his friends, if he could source cotton wipers for use in their garages and engineering companies. He used his knowledge gained from working within the textiles industry to source 100% cotton wipers. He started the business part time working out of his garage in 1975, before resigning his position and formed Jack Oldham Textiles Ltd in 1976. He rented a small unit near his home in Glossop 1976. He started supplying local companies with industrial cleaning wiper cloths. Jack expanded the business in 1980 and moved to larger premises in Glossop. And began supplying wiper cloths nationwide. Jack retired in 1996 and the business was taken over by his Daughter Jillian and husband Stephen Cocksey. Both had an extensive background within the textile industry. Stephen Cocksey is the current Managing Director. Under Stephen management the company expanded in 2000 and moved to larger premises in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The company is nationally recognised as one of the UKs leading supplier of industrial cotton wiper cloths.
