It was in 1935 that appliances such as irons and toasters first made their way into people’s homes. However, these were luxury items, so the time was right to offer well designed electrical goods that fell within the average housewife’s budget. Seeing this opportunity, Donal Morphy teamed up with Charles Richards. The pair had worked together at an electric fire company, Morphy as an engineer and Richards as a salesman. But on 8th July 1936, they registered their new enterprises as a private company manufacturing and dealing in electrical, gas, radio and television equipment, this was the start of Morphy Richards. The philosophy of Morphy Richards has changed little since that time. They set out to produce affordable, modern appliances for the mass market. Even the two-year guarantee is still a fundamental feature of every product that bears the Morphy Richards name.

Morphy and Richards went to work and the first appliance rolled off the production line at St Mary Cray, Kent in 1936. This 2kw radiant fire went into the shops at 17s 6d, seriously undercutting the competition by over 12 shillings. Morphy Richards next product was an even bigger coup. 1937 saw the launch of an electric temperature controlled iron for £1 2s 6d, 15 shillings less than the average iron. But Morphy Richard's success was down to design as much as cost. Morphy Richards Senior iron, from 1938, had a unique pilot light to indicate when the temperature was right for different fabrics. In fact, it’s a testament to such progressive styling that one of the current dry irons still bears some of the same design feature as the 1937 Morphy Richards model.
