At Giles & Posner, we believe that food brings people together. Our range of novelty kitchen appliances allows families and friends to create memorable culinary experiences, right at home.
Our Story
It all started in a small kitchen in London, where husband and wife Giles and Posner experimented with recipes and kitchen gadgets. They loved hosting dinner parties and game nights, but found that most appliances on the market were bulky, expensive, and complicated to use.
Giles had an engineering background and Posner had worked in product design. Together, they decided to create a line of compact, easy-to-use appliances that allowed people to effortlessly prepare crowd-pleasing treats.
In 2012, the first Giles & Posner product – a mini cupcake maker – was born. It was an instant hit with home bakers and received glowing reviews. Encouraged, Giles and Posner expanded their selection to include popcorn poppers, waffle irons, and more.
As their reputation grew, major retailers came calling. In just a few short years, Giles & Posner products could be found in stores across the UK and Europe.
Our Factories
Today, Giles & Posner has state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in China and a product development team at our UK headquarters. We take pride in overseeing every step of the design and production process to ensure consistent quality.
Our factories utilize advanced robotics and stringent quality control. Appliances are rigorously tested for safety and functionality before being approved for sale. We are continually improving our operations to increase efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Our Products
The Giles & Posner range includes over 50 novelty kitchen appliances that allow anyone to conjure up carnival-style treats, restaurant favorites, and homemade spins on classic snacks. Some of our bestsellers include:
- Ice Cream Makers: Create velvety frozen yogurt, rich gelato, or old-fashioned ice cream without hassle. Our ice cream machines automatically stir and freeze mixtures for perfect texture.
- Popcorn Poppers: Movie theater-style popcorn is just minutes away. These poppers quickly generate mounds of fluffy, tender popcorn that’s topped with your favorite seasonings.

We offer over 50 vibrant colors across our product lineup. The appliances are compact in size but packed with power and performance. Most include handy accessories like measuring spoons, tongs, and nonstick plates.
