Judge

Judge is one of the oldest and most trusted kitchenware brands in the United Kingdom, with a history dating back to 1896. Founded in Bristol by William Joseph Horwood, the brand began by selling homeware to hardware stores in and around Bristol, with products manufactured in Birmingham. Early Judge cookware was made from enamel-coated metal, suited to the utilitarian kitchens of Victorian England. By the 1930s, the range had grown to 100 items and Judge had become the leading cookware brand in the UK. Today, Judge is designed in Bristol and distributed in the UK and worldwide by Horwood Homewares. The brand offers a portfolio of more than a thousand kitchen accessories, covering all everyday kitchenware tasks: cooking, baking, food preparation, eating and drinking, as well as small electricals. Core lines come with a 25-year guarantee, reflecting the brand's longstanding reputation for quality and traditional family values. Judge's product range includes cookware such as pots and pans, ovenware and steamers; kitchen knives; bakeware including baking trays, cake tins and cutters; cutlery sets; double-walled glassware; and the Judgeware enamelled cast iron collection.

Judge was founded in Bristol in 1896 by William Joseph Horwood, a family man dedicated to becoming a faithful supplier of quality homewares. In Victorian England, the company began selling a range of homeware to hardware stores in and around Bristol. Its products were made in Birmingham, with the first catalogues featuring items such as 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. Some of the earliest Judge enamel pans can be spotted in the kitchen on Downton Abbey. By the 1930s, the founder's dedication to making more quality products for every need in the kitchen had grown the range to 100 items. By this time, Judge was the leading cookware brand in the UK and was fast becoming a familiar name in British homes. Over the following decades, Judge continued to expand its product range and reputation. Today, more than 120 years after its founding, Judge is designed in Bristol and distributed in the UK and worldwide by Horwood Homewares. The brand's portfolio now includes more than a thousand kitchen accessories, covering all everyday kitchenware tasks: cooking, baking, food prep, eating and drinking, as well as small electricals. Core lines carry a 25-year guarantee, and the brand remains known for its longstanding history, excellent reputation, quality, great consumer experience and traditional family values.
