Chris and Emma Martin started Cornwall Creels in the English fishing port of Newquay some years ago, starting out with a small operation in a shed before moving up to larger unit, and then downscaling again. Cornwall Creels has worked closely with, and represents Medley Pots. Also operating as an agent for Euronete, supplying their original Euro Steel rope and netting.

Chris Martin commented that making custom-rigged crab and lobster gear is labour-intensive work, and now the standard gear is made at Medley, while the custom-rigged gear that Cornwall Creels used to produce comes from partner company East Coast Creels.
