Our Yorkshire roots
Magnet was founded as a joinery business in Bingley, Yorkshire in 1918 by Tom Duxbury, which he named after his beloved horse, Magnet.
Tom believed in a considered approach, enabling him to offer better products and services to his customers. This simple premise still drives Magnet today.
We've come a long way from our humble Yorkshire roots, growing to be both leaders and pioneers in the industry as we paved the way for all the kitchen retailers in the UK.
