About Kenwood
Kenwood is one of Britain's most iconic kitchen appliance brands, founded by Kenneth Maynard Wood in 1947 in Woking, Surrey. What began with a simple toaster (the A100) has grown into a globally recognised name synonymous with quality kitchen equipment. Today, Kenwood is owned by Italian appliance giant De'Longhi, who acquired the company in 2001 for £45.9 million. The brand's legendary status was cemented with the launch of the Kenwood Chef mixer in 1950, unveiled at the Ideal Home Exhibition in London. Kenneth Wood's revolutionary design was more than just a mixer - it incorporated multiple functions, inspiring him to call it the Kenwood Electric Chef. The iconic silhouette still recognised today was created by designer Kenneth Grange in 1960 with the A701 series. By the Chef's 60th anniversary in 2010, an remarkable 15 million mixers had been sold worldwide. Kenwood has continued innovating throughout its history. The company launched its first food processor in 1979, and in 2009 created the groundbreaking Cooking Chef - a stand mixer with a built-in heating element that allows simultaneous cooking and mixing. From its headquarters in Havant, Hampshire (where operations moved in 1962), Kenwood continues to develop appliances that help home cooks and professional chefs create lasting culinary memories. UK shoppers can find Kenwood products including the FP120 Food Processor at Tesco, Morrisons, and other major retailers.
