WHIRLPOOL CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

Whirlpool, the world’s number one manufacturer of major home appliances, held a series of events around the world to commemorate the company’s 100 years. Whirlpool UK celebrated with several events throughout the year including an Employee Day, a Family Day and a classic tea party on the date of the company’s 100th anniversary, 11th November 2011.

Employees at Whirlpool UK enjoyed a celebratory traditional English tea served on vintage china, surrounded by bunting and decorations at the company’s headquarters in Croydon. The day included lots of activities and surprises; a special lunch, quizzes, a fancy dress competition and the chance to win commemorative merchandise and a MAX Limited Edition microwave!

Whirlpool UK also hosted a celebration lunch for the trade media. Guests were treated to an outstanding menu prepared by Tim Anderson, the winner of MasterChef 2011. Tim prepared and cooked a superb variety of dishes using the KitchenAid Chef Touch to demonstrate the latest sous vide cooking technique.
Juliana Sado, Brand Marketing Manager commented: “It has been a tremendously busy, yet exciting year with the Whirlpool UK staff enjoying many celebratory activities. The anniversary celebrations have been a great way to commemorate the company’s provenance and its on-going mission dedicated to improving the lives of consumers in every home, everywhere.

Whirlpool’s time- and labour-saving appliance innovations have influenced home and family life during the last century. We’re driven by the belief that everyone needs a comfortable place to call home. We’re proud of our American heritage and our growth to become the world’s appliance leader.”
