The Funky Iron Company Limited Information

The Funky Iron Company was founded by Joe and Sadie Sillett in June 2016. It took 2 crowdfunding campaigns and two and a half years to launch our new range of Funky Irons at the end of November 2018. Since then, our product range has been reviewed by several leading publications: The Telegraph, June 27th 2019 awarded it the position of number 2 in the Best Steam Irons For 2019, "The most distinctive feature of this novel iron is its appearance. A vintage-style riff on 1950’s domestic gadgetry, it's rather likeable."​ iNews, April 23rd 2019, "The Funky Iron Company’s fabulously original “Funky Iron” is a UK-designed one of a kind."​ T3, April 18th 2019 awarded it number 7 in the Best Steam Irons Money Can Buy In 2019, "Funky by name, funky by nature, this home-grown retro cloth presser is arguably one of the most striking irons on the board and is a choice par excellence for Smeg and Dualit fans, or indeed anyone into the ’50s thing."​ What's Good To Do, May 1st 2019, "I absolutely think that the Funky Iron Company have a winner here – a very rare thing that is both quirky and beautiful as well as being top quality and functional."​ The Funky Iron Company has been selected as a FINALIST in the National Family Business Awards 2019 at Wembley Stadium in July 2019. This selection is in the manufacturing category. The company has received a lot of interest from international distributors and agencies and will be looking to progress these discussions in the next 6 to 12 months. We will be exhibiting at the Ambiente Trade Show in Frankfurt in February 2020.
