Fulton began in 1956, when founder Arnold Fulton began designing and manufacturing umbrellas from a small factory in Whitechapel, East London. With his mechanical engineering background, Arnold created machinery to more efficiently produce umbrellas, streamlining the process in a revolutionary way within the umbrella world.
Fulton is now a global rainwear brand run by Arnold's son Nigel, in-keeping with the family business values. It holds a Royal Warrant to Her Majesty The Queen, the umbrellas often being used by many members of the British royal family.
