Our History

Now celebrating 100 years of manufacturing, which all began in a small garage in Blackpool. Johnson & Starley Ltd has been recognised since their early days as a company leading the forefront of innovation in warm air heating.

The building of such a solid reputation started with two businessmen, Mr Johnson & Mr Starley, who opened a small but ambitious garage business. With foresight and vision they soon saw how they could produce warm air heaters, but utilising the waste oil from their garage.

Innovative heating advancements

Decades of successes ensued, seeing the Johnson & Starley name associated with many of the major advancements in heating solutions. When condensing warm air became mandatory, Johnson and Starley yet again applied its flair for innovation and began the next chapter in our story that saw the creation of the high energy efficiency warm air heaters we’re famed for today.
