Everything you need to know about Chisholm Bookmakers
Chisholms are an independent bookie operating a chain of 36 betting shops in the north-east of England. The business was established in the 1950’s by the grandfather of the current Directors. At one point the chain grew to more than 50 shops but many shops have been closed in recent years due to increasing costs.
Chisholm Bookmakers is a UK-based, independent family-run chain of betting shops. Established in the early 1950s by Reuben Chisholm, the company has grown to become a prominent independent bookmaker in the United Kingdom.
Over the decades, Chisholm Bookmakers expanded its operations by opening new betting shops and acquiring existing ones. The company has maintained a significant presence in the northern part of England, particularly in the North East.
The shops offer a range of betting services on sports, including horse racing, football, and greyhound racing. They’re generally well managed and the Company has a reputation for investing in staff training and good customer service.
Managing Director Howard Chisholm is also a Director of the Bookmakers Technology Consortium which operates from the same Head Office and helps supply other independent bookmakers with IT and technology solutions.
Chisholms introduced their own interactive online betting website as early as 2001 called betsmart.co.uk but heavy losses soon forced the closure of the site.
Chisholm Bookmakers did have a website (chisholmbet.com) where customers could place their bets online. However, the website was closed, along with their telephone betting service on Sunday 31st July 2023.
Chisholm now offer their betting services solely via their chain of UK betting shops.
“I can only comment on the Morpeth branch but these guys are exceptional. Daily visitor in there and they go above and beyond for their customers.”
