ABOUT US
ABOUT US
BASED IN AUCKLAND NZ
Fantail is a cricket equipment brand based in Auckland, New Zealand, supported by a highly engaged and loyal customer base worldwide.
We take pride in being a company that embodies our commitment to responsibly managing our environmental impact and actively taking steps to foster positive change. One such step includes donating a portion of our profits to causes we believe in, both on land and at sea.
In 2025, Fantail will continue developing a wholesale business plan to sell our products to like-minded retailers worldwide and open a new store in Mt Eden. Our wholesale goals will reduce shipping and tax costs while providing our customers with easier access to our products.
EST. 2015
After being founded in 2015 by Blake Shattock out of his garage, Fantail has grown into an exclusive cricket brand . With our shipping & retail partners, we have ensured that our customers can order Fantail products no matter where they are in the world.
Why Fantail?
Our first cricket bat workshop was a small garage in St Heliers, Auckland. There was always native birds flying around, the Fantail being one of them. The Fantail is a native bird to New Zealand; however, they can also be found around the world, and with its friendly and inquisitive behaviour, we thought it was an easy choice to represent our brand.
VALUES
In line with our core values—Community, Environment, Transparency, and Innovation—Fantail strives to stay ahead of the game, ensuring the latest styles and quality products that customers can invest in and use for seasons to come.
