Having now entered our 100th UK
manufacturing year, Shield Batteries are one of the battery
industries ‘true professionals’, with a wealth of experience,
expertise, and success matched by few other companies.
Being highly skilled in manufacturing with a long proven track record,
Shield Batteries are renowned for delivering the ultimate quality and
performance in every battery supplied. To this day, we are trusted in
delivering what our customers deserve by using only the best
components available to us.
Founded in 1910 by Mr W.H.Butterfield in London, the company set
out by producing accumulator type batteries then in glass jars.
Manufacturing progressed throughout the 1st and 2nd World Wars
and then moved onto the production of hard rubber batteries. In 1945
Mr W.A.Butterfield joined the company to assist his father in
developing the family business.
In 1962, David Butterfield joined as the third generation to take the
company from strength to strength shortly afterwards saw the first
starter batteries under the ‘Shield’ brand produced. Due to the
growth and expansion of the business, the company moved to
Bishop’s Stortford where the companies head quarters and
manufacturing remains today. In 1988 David’s son Neil joined the
business to assist his father in taking the company through the next
20 years, building on the strengths we are today.
Due to manufacturing limitations in the UK, we are proud of our long
association with REEM Batteries from Oman who support us with the
best battery technology available, in the automotive market. Shield
batteries are not only renowned as manufacturers, but also distributors
of batteries into specialist markets.
In 2005, Shield were appointed sole UK distributor for Crown Batteries
which are becoming the leading choice for deep cycle batteries in the
most demanding applications such as floor care, access, electric
vehicles etc.
As Shield Batteries were clearly being recognised world wide for their
quality and expertise, in 2006 were selected to distribute ‘Sterling’
batteries into Europe. The brand and technical rights are now solely
owned by Shield Batteries. Customers such as NASA, Siemens, RBS,
Microsoft and HP have all relied on our products.
Shield Batteries are customer focused. With the recent acquisition of
companies in Leicester, Manchester, Poole and Yeovil, we are able to
offer services which include flexible lead times, custom design by
