A J Wells
& Sons Ltd, the manufacturers of the Charnwood range,
was founded in 1972 and is a privately owned, family controlled,
British company that specialises in the design and manufacture of
high quality wood burning, coal burning, multifuel, oil and gas
stoves. As the oldest British manufacturer of wood burning stoves,
run by second and third generations of the family, we are dedicated
to providing products of enduring design and of the highest quality. In 1972, Alfred Wells and two of his sons, started
a small
engineering business in Niton on the Isle of Wight. In the past
thirty years we have grown from our original small factory of
around 1500 sq. ft to our current site of over 50,000 sq. Ft.
We have always been keen to provide local employment on the Isle
of Wight and have seen our number of employees rise from the original
3 to over 75. We are very proud of our workforce who have rewarded
us by staying loyal to the company, with many staff having worked
with us for over 20 years.
This brings stability to the business
ensuring that pride in
the company and the quality of our products is maintained.
Commitment to our staff is vital as is
the commitment to invest
in the latest technology to ensure the highest quality. Over the
years we have installed our own Vitreous Enamelling Plant, CNC
controlled Press Brakes, Robotic Welders and a state of the art
Laser Profiler all of which allow pin point accuracy resulting
in superior quality.
Keeping the manufacture of as many parts
as possible in-house
enables us to maintain full production control to provide our
customers with long-lasting products leading the field
technically in both operation and function.
Our Buying Policy
In our quest for the highest quality we
source our raw materials
from only the very best companies. We aim to build strong
relationships with our suppliers so that we can be confident in
their quality, to maintain our high standards. We unashamedly buy
British wherever possible. It is our view that it is
environmentally unsustainable to transport heavy materials around
the world, on the grounds of small savings, when the world’s finest
materials are available here in the UK. For us, and for our
customers, we look for quality above cost. After all, the purchase
of a Charnwood is an excellent long-term investment and will be
the focus of your home for many years to come, long after the memory
of what you paid for it has gone.
Our Commitment to Service
As a privately owned, family company
service is of utmost
importance to us. We strive to ensure that all our customers
receive the information and service they deserve.
We have a dedicated customer support team
who are able to answer
your questions both before you purchase your Charnwood and after
it is installed. In addition to the office based team we have
qualified technical sales managers covering all parts of the
UK and Ireland.
This means that help is always available
whether at the design
stage or later on.
It has long been our aim that not one of
our customers will go
cold, for the want of a spare part, any longer than is
absolutely necessary.
All spares are normally dispatched within
48 hours and we offer a
next day delivery service if required to ensure that in the rare
event of a problem, your Charnwood is up and running as quickly as
possible.
We are proud of our service and our
customers agree.
Our Environmental Policy
At Charnwood we operate a policy of
caring for the environment in
all aspects of the business; from the products we design, to the
way we package them, to the way we transport them, to the way we deal
with disposal of waste products, to the vehicles we use, to our choice
of raw materials and, as we have already said, from where we choose
to buy them. These are just some of the ways we choose to make what
we do as environmentally friendly as possible. At the heart of the
design of the products that we make, is the attempt to achieve high
efficiencies, so that they will consume less of the earth’s
resources in heating your home. An example of this is our
woodburning stoves that use one of the few fuels that are
renewable within our own lifespan, thus conserving other fuels
that are diminishing over the years.
Other Businesses
In addition to manufacturing the
Charnwood stove range we have
also developed three other businesses.
AJ Wells & Sons Vitreous Enamellers
was originally set up to enamel
our Charnwood stoves, but now it has expanded into the enameling and
re-enameling of range cookers, baths and signage, for corporate and
private customers. Our clients include the London Underground
companies and major manufacturers of range cookers.
Anki Chimney Systems are importers of
pumice chimney. As one of the
longest established stove companies we seized the opportunity to
import this range of exceptional pumice chimney as it is ideally
suited for stoves in both new-build and re-lining situations.
We hope this gives you a sense of who we
are as a company, the rest
of the web site will tell you about our products and how to contact
us. Our aim is that by combining high quality products together
with excellent service, from a company dedicated to looking after
its customers, you can purchase a Charnwood with real confidence.

The year 2000 saw Church Hill Systems
celebrate twenty one years
as a provider of premium boiler and heating systems, marked by the
introduction of revised and remarketed product ranges to launch us
into the 21st century. But first, a brief review of our history thus
far.
Church Hill Systems has always
specialised in electrically powered
wet heating systems. First products included heat pumps, often used
in conjunction with large oil boilers to reduce running costs using
cheap off-peak electricity. Soon electric storage boilers were
developed, again storing useful energy during off-peak periods
and powered now by immersion heaters to give essentially silent,
long life, service free, operation. Electricity Council approval
was followed by Medallion Awards for various developments, including
housing, schools, offices, nursing homes, swimming pools and so on,
culminating the coveted Electricity Council Beta Awards for
installations at a communications centre in Scotland and a football
club in Northamptonshire.
1990 saw the introduction of modern
tariffs with off-peak periods
during the daytime as well as overnight. Church Hill Systems
immediately launched the revolutionary 500 electric storage
combination boiler, adding in high performance mains-pressure hot
water supply to central heating, all in one integrated copper
cylinder and designed for location in an airing cupboard. To
satisfy demand, the Church Hill heat exchanger was used in the
Neptune range of hot water only thermal store cylinders, again
using off-peak storage to ensure high performance and reduce
running costs.
In 1997, again in response to demand, the
25 was introduced to
provide a small and low-cost option especially for up-market flats
in city centres but with emphasis on performance - a market it has
dominated since.

Crosslee plc was formed in 1986 after
Philips' Halifax factory was
sold to a management team headed by David Ross and Derek Clee, now
Crosslee's joint Chairmen.
The company's first White Knight tumble
dryer rolled off the
production line that year and by 1990 Crosslee had become one of
the largest manufacturers of tumble dryers in Europe, producing
over 600,000 units per year, or one product every 12.5 seconds.
Soon after, the company was honoured with the Queen's Award for
Export Achievement. Today over 60% of production is for export.
1990 was a momentous year for the
company. Having established
itself at the top of Europe's tumble dryer league, it bought a
second factory and diversified. Located in Flint, North Wales,
this factory produces gas and electric focal point fires and
barbecues under the Royal Cozyfires, White knight and Odell brands.
The next ten years saw further expansion
of the product portfolio
which today includes Hostess heated trolleys and drinks coolers as
well as spin dryers, and Barbecues.
Tumble dryers, barbecues and trolleys are
made at the Halifax
factory which shares a 45-acre (182,000 square metres) site with
the company's headquarters. Recently the factory has been expanded
with a new 25000 square foot (2500 square metres) extension.
BS EN ISO 9001 quality management systems
are used throughout
the production process. All electrical products comply with
international safety standards, including BEAB, VDE and NEMKO.
All gas products have British Gas and BSI approval.

Manufacturers of vaccuum cleaners.
In 1978, I became frustrated with my
vacuum cleaner, it quickly
clogged with dust, destroying the suction. I set about solving this problem.
More than 5,000 prototypes later, I was
at last able to launch
the DCO1, with patented Dyson Dual cyclone™ technology, the first
vacuum cleaner that didn?t lose suction.
We have now developed the Root12
Cyclone™ to give even higher
suction power to pick up more dust from your home.
The Everhot is a superb electric heat
storage range manufactured
to the highest standards. The Everhot exudes all the classic good
looks, durability and reliability of a range but without many of
the associated drawbacks.
The Everhot comprises a large cast iron
working surface, with space
for four saucepans, divided into a hot and simmer plate. Both plates
have variable temperature control and are bordered by a resilient
stainless steel surround. There is a large top roasting oven with
the added benefit of an integral radiant grill, and a bottom oven
operating at a lower temperature for slow cooking. Both ovens have
individual temperature adjustment to provide flexibility and
cooking control.
The Everhot is the perfect solution for
those home owners who want
a traditional kitchen range, but could do without the traditional
installation and operational hassles. Providing the best of both
worlds, the Everhot gives quality cooking and background warmth
without sacrificing any of the control associated with modern
cooking methods.
Size- Despite its spacious top and bottom
ovens and four saucepan
hot and simmer plates, the Everhot's innovative design means that
it fits into a standard 600mm wide kitchen unit space, making it
suitable for any size of household.
Weight- Built to withstand constant use
for a generation, the
Everhot is incredibly solid, but weighing 250kg, the kitchen
floor should not need reinforcing.
Power Supply- Its extremely low
electricity requirements allow
the use of a 13amp socket, avoiding the need for a permanent
30amp connection.
Installation- The Everhot does not need
to be mounted on a
concrete base (as do other heat storage cookers). This reduces
installation costs and gives the flexibility to take it with you
in a house move.
Flue Free- Running on electricity, the
Everhot requires no flue
- minimising installation costs and reducing energy consumption.
Control- Each oven/heating surface can be
independently adjusted
to the temperature you require. (If a particular area is not
required for long periods, it can be switched off or turned down
without affecting the other areas).
Grill- Unlike other ranges, the Everhot
has a full width grill
with independent control. This can also be used to rapidly boost
the oven temperature if required.
Servicing- The Everhot does not require
annual servicing and, with
a little care and affection, will perform trouble-free, year after
year.

Heta UK first started distributing stoves
manufactured by Heta AS in
Denmark in 1991. Heta UK is owned by John Opie, one of the UK's leading
woodburning stove specialists. The product range includes traditional
cast iron multifuel to minimalist Danish designer clean-burning wood
stoves.
Arguably there cannot be a true
"multifuel" stove simply because
of the differences between coal and wood. Coal is a dense hard fuel
with a high calorific value needing a fair amount of air for
combustion, and produces a lot of ash and sometimes clinker. Wood
on the other hand is about half the density of coal and has around
half the calorific value of coal by dry weight. Wood needs little
air to burn and produces very little ash. To summarize; coal can
produce about four times the heat of wood for the same volume, but
wood will burn faster and release its heat quicker.
Wood is an environmentally friendly fuel.
Trees grown for firewood
regenerate in a very short time whilst cleaning up the atmosphere
as they grow, with the great advantage of not adding to the
greenhouse effect in any way.
All Heta stoves are multifuel in as much
as they will all burn a
mixture of coal and wood. We suggest that a small amount of
housecoal "helps" wood burn on all the stoves or that The Kosi is
an ideal solid fuel stove that will happily burn on a diet of
smokeless coal only. The Scanline and Vision and View stoves are
predominately woodburners in that they are tested and approved in
Denmark and Germany for use with wood but are perfectly good at
burning a mix of fuels. These stoves have special characteristics
such as Skamolex vermiculite lined fireboxes, preheated combustion
air and large clear glass doors that allow for superb flame patterns
to be enjoyed at maximum efficiency .
