James Edmiston

James Edmiston was born in Edinburgh in 1943. He was educated at Rugby School, and Brasenose College Oxford where he read law. Following a good grounding in production engineering, he ran the world renowned Sterling Armament Company for 12 years, with a degree of success that he claims was entirely due to his various colleagues and loyal employees.

He recently founded Boxall & Edmiston with Peter Boxall, formerly of Jaguar, W&C Scott and manufacturing director of Holland & Holland. Under their leadership, Boxall & Edmiston have become one of the largest shotgun manufacturers in Britain today. By ensuring the guns compliment the shooters physical form, shooting style and personal style, a niche market has been forged for the team based in Shropshire.
