Established in 1911 by the eponymous Charles Owen himself, the company’s first product was pith helmets for the army. It wasn’t long before the company diversified into helmets for motorcycle racing. It was not until 1957 when a family member started riding that Charles Owen made its first riding helmet. The resulting prototype so impressed the riding schools that the future direction of the company became clear.Originally based in East London, it became clear that to meet demand the company would have to move outside of the London area. By 1992, Charles Owen had closed its London operations and the headquarters were now based in Wrexham in North Wales.
