Founded in 2005 as One Stop Cricket Shop.com, a Cricket merchandise and memorabilia business, it soon evolved into a full Sports Memorabilia business. By 2009, the Cricket moniker was barely relevant, and British Sports Museum was born. Incorporated in 2010, the British Sports Museum quickly established itself as one of the leading Premium Sports Memorabilia companies in the UK. As a leading member of AFTAL
(The Autograph Fair Trade Association) British Sports Museum has gained a strong reputation as the go-to place for authentic Premium memorabilia.
It is one of only 12 Sports Memorabilia companies to be featured on the Collectors Approved website, the leading site for guidance in finding genuine items. https://www.collectorapproved.com/sports-memorabilia/
Working with clubs like Bristol City, Essex CCC, Suffolk Cricket, Ipswich Town F.C. and Bedfordshire Cricket, boasting fifteen years of fundraising through their silent auctions, British Sports Museum has not only become a well-respected player in the market and is often referred to as the best in the business.
Based in Hertfordshire, British Sports Museum has a worldwide customer base with over 11465 reviews on eBay, a 5-Star seller with a 100% positive rating.
British Sports Museum also produces a range of unique, unbranded retro leather footballs and boxing gloves through their suppliers in India. These Items are regularly used for shop displays, theatrical use, photographic shoots and have appeared in movies and TV dramas such as Tina & Bobby, Call the Midwife, and others, regularly supplying Warner Bros. studios, Elstree and Pinewood studios, along with prop stores worldwide.
British Sports Museum has also featured on the TV shopping channel ‘’Ideal World’ and has supplied Costco and catalogue company JD Williams.
Since COVID, British Sports Museum's offline sales have significantly reduced, showing the need for some aggressive digital marketing. This is something that British Sports Museum have not embraced to date, relying more on its reputation, and it is felt that with more and more sales coming from overseas, this is now the direction that BSM needs to take to get it back to the profit-making business that it was prior to COVID.
With the explosion of interest in the English Premier League in overseas regions, this is now the ideal opportunity for someone with a skill in online digital marketing to take this to the next level.
