At Russell Hobbs, we get life, we’ve been at the core of the home and played an integral part in everyday life since 1952. Bill Russel and Peter Hobbs started making thoughtful products inspired by real life over 70 years ago, starting with the CP1 which made making coffee easy. In 1955 we created our first automatic kettle, the K1 and just over 20 years later in 1977 we became the world’s leading kettle maker and the UK’s No. 1 for coffee makers and toasters.
