Ellis Briggs is a British bicycle manufacturer and shop, based in Shipley, West Yorkshire, England.
The shop survived through the war by selling what ever was available which included children's clothing and enamel paints, as well as the usual cycling lines.
After Thomas Briggs died in 1953 his son Jack took over the business with his wife Nora.
Over the years Ellis Briggs sponsored many international riders, such as Bernard Burns, Brian Robinson, Arthur Metcalfe, Ken Russell, Doug Petty, Danny Horton and Dave Rayner.
The biggest success was in the 1950s when Ken Russell, riding for Ellis Briggs as an independent rider (semi professional), won the 1952 Tour of Britain despite not having any team support.
