Says it began 1896Where BristolNames William Joseph Horwood

We were founded in Bristol in 1896 by family man William Joseph Horwood. William was dedicated to becoming a faithful supplier of quality homewares. In Victorian England, we began selling a range of homeware to hardware stores in and around Bristol. Our products were made in Birmingham with our first catalogues featuring the likes of cake tins, graters and steaming pots. During the early days, Judge cookware was made from enamel coated metal to suit the demands of the utilitarian kitchen. After the war we bounced back and from our modest beginnings, we grew into even larger warehouses with a bigger range of kitchenware than ever before. While our headquarters remained in Bristol, we began making some of our products in the UK & Europe to improve the speed and quality of our production, many of which are still made in the same factories today. Through loyalty to innovation and quality workmanship, by the 1990s we'd built a collection of more than 1000 kitchen accessories covering every need in the kitchen. Our products continued to be made in the UK and abroad.
