Consumer Durables

We produce and market the majority of bakeware sold in the UK, together with associated ranges of kitchen accessories to both retail and commercial markets.  We are the market leader in cookware and our wine racks are sold extensively in the UK and overseas markets.   Businesses in this division have the benefit of a very good reputation and own some very strong and well established brands.  The Mermaid brand is extremely popular with professional chefs and caterers and its popularity is also growing in the retail market, helped by the endorsement of celebrity chefs, including Delia Smith on her website.   Other brands widely recognised by our trade customers and consumers include LongLife, Progress, RTA, Microwise and Popware.

GW International is the largest business in this division and now occupies an enviable niche, providing high quality bakeware products, with outstanding levels of customer service to discerning retailers and distributors in the UK. 

During 2007 we opened our sourcing office in mainland China to strengthen our existing Far East operations, as well as a Sales and Marketing centre in Hong Kong.
