Bush is a British consumer electronics brand owned by Sainsbury's via its subsidiary Argos, both of which exclusively sell Bush products. In Australia and New Zealand, the Bush brand is owned and used separately by Harvard International.
The brand has existed since the 1930s and originated as a London-based company named Bush Radio.
Bush Radio was one of the most famous manufacturers of early British radio receivers in the mid 20th century. The original company became defunct in 1962 when it merged with Murphy Radio, but the Bush brand name survives as a private label brand for budget electronics, becoming the most popular brand in the UK for smaller-size TVs in the 1990s and has since also become popular for products such as smart TVs, tablets and white goods as of 2015.
