Russell Hobbs is a British manufacturer of household appliances. Founded in 1952 by William Russell and Peter Hobbs, they launched the first automatic kettle in 1955, and became the primary kettle maker in the United Kingdom marketplace in the years that followed. Subjected to many corporate acquisitions through its history, its head office is currently sited in Failsworth, England, although the company has moved its manufacturing operations to China.
