In 1942 fishmongers Charles and Frank Purley, fed up with the high cost of ice, developed a refrigeration system to keep their fresh fish chilled. And so Lec was born.

The brand quickly became a firm favourite and today, over 60 years later, Lec is still the refrigeration appliance brand of choice in many UK households. In 2005 Lec became part of Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, owner of Stoves, Belling and New World cooking brands and with a reputation for quality and reliability that is unrivalled. The Lec tradition continues with the support of the largest producer and supplier of kitchen appliances in the UK. Our products

Even with over 60 years of heritage we understand there’s no time to rest on our laurels. Like today’s consumers Lec is an environmentally conscious brand and the future for us is all about energy efficiency. 2010 saw the launch of 11 fantastic new products that really set the standard in energy saving – the A+ energy rated range which uses up to 60% less energy*. Our A+ energy rating is so impressive that the Energy Savings Trust (EST) is actively recommending the entire range.

This noticeable accolade is something we are very proud to hold. The EST is a UK-based organisation focused on promoting action that reduces the UK’s carbon footprint.For more information visit www.energysavingstrust.org.uk
