The company will also be showcasing the history of the brand through the ages, with flashbacks to its retro Hotpoint adverts on social media.

Additionally, the company will be releasing a limited-edition version of its logo to mark the occasion, which will replace the modern logo on social media for the duration of the competition.

Hotpoint was officially founded in 1911 and the company’s name originated from the main product in the brand’s offering at the time, the electric iron, which was designed to stay ‘hot at the point’.

During the 1920s and 1930s, Hotpoint went on to develop its first washing machines and refrigerators, while also manufacturing kettles, portable clothes dryers and vacuum cleaners.

Hotpoint expanded its portfolio during the 1970s and 1980s to include dishwashers, cookers and built-in appliances, and the brand also increased its colour palette, marking an end to just manufacturing ‘white’ appliances.

Hotpoint is now the most recognised white goods brand in the UK, according to Kantar 2020 Brand Health Tracking Report and 92 per cent of its customers state that they would buy from Hotpoint again finds Revoo.

It has also received several awards and accreditations across its range of appliances, from Quiet Mark, Which? and Good Housekeeping, as well as the iF Design Award.

Hotpoint also works closely with the Youreko energy-saving tool, which is installed on the brand’s website, and rates products according to running costs and demonstrates an appliance’s lifetime energy financial savings.

Hotpoint brand manager Kimberley Garner said: “We are delighted to be celebrating Hotpoint’s 110 year anniversary.

“Hotpoint has been by UK families’ sides for 110 years and, while our company has evolved over the years to adapt to the changing times and ever-evolving marketplace, our message throughout this time has remained consistent.
