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”.

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.
