1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as

a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.

Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved

into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,

which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower

brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware

designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can

see from the original poster, their stand No. A410

must have been a great sight as it promoted their

“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at

prices all can afford to pay”.

Easy Blender

Make easy work of kitchen blending tasks with the

Tower 300W Stick Blender. An ergonomic design

and 2 speed settings means that this immersion

blender perfect for soups, salsas, humus, purees -

this list is endless! Dishwasher safe parts and easy

to clean blades keep cleaning to a minimum. This

appliance is as practical as it is versatile.

1961 Tower became one of the largest

manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric

kettles, tea pots and other household articles with

over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the

expanding Tower brand.
