Founded in 1979 by Geoffrey Ward, Bisque introduced the concept of designer radiators to the UK.

It was Bisque who pioneered towel radiators (virtually unheard of 30 years ago), introduced colour finishes and who commissioned such innovative, award-winning designs as the revolutionary Hot Spring and the charismatic Archibald towel radiator.

Bisque continue to remain at the cutting edge of radiator design and were recently voted one of the CoolBrands of 2009/2010.
