GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION

Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been
designing, developing and manufacturing housewares and
small appliances used by millions of households throughout
the UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity
of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest
producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late
1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with
an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical
appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly
