Control Induction

Control Induction is a British commercial catering equipment brand specialising in professional induction cooking suites. Founded in 2008 by Managing Director Geoff Snelgrove, who brought more than 40 years of experience in the commercial catering equipment industry, the company is based at Unit 17, Platt Industrial Estate, Maidstone Road, Borough Green, Kent TN15 8JL. It operates as a trading division of Hygienius Ltd, alongside sister divisions Thermo-Box UK and Blaze UK. The brand positions itself as the only UK company specialising in induction stoves. Its product range is deliberately narrow: roughly 95% induction hobs and planchas, with the remaining 5% covering complementary items such as salamanders, ovens and fridges. Its core offerings include bespoke induction suites, island suites, wall suites, peninsula suites, The Slider® and The French plancha, all configured around the specific pass and kitchen layouts of professional restaurants. Each stove is handcrafted in the company's Kent-based factory and backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Control Induction serves the professional kitchen market, with its equipment used by restaurants including The Loch & The Tyne by Adam Handling and The Gaff in Ellon. The company emphasises in-house expertise spanning cooking, electronics, manufacturing and kitchen design, and notes that many of the same skilled professionals who build its stoves also handle installation, training and after-sales support. It also maintains large stocks of spare parts, aiming for a 90%+ first-visit fix rate for service calls. As a trading division rather than a separately listed entity, Control Induction is privately held within Hygienius Ltd. Its operations are concentrated in the United Kingdom, with contact and support handled from its Kent headquarters.

Control Induction was founded in 2008 by Geoff Snelgrove, who serves as Managing Director. Snelgrove brought over 40 years of experience in the commercial catering equipment industry to the venture, and that experience continues to shape the company's values and standards. From its early years, the business focused on induction cooking technology for professional kitchens, building a team with combined expertise in cooking, electronics, manufacturing and kitchen design. The company established its manufacturing base in Kent, where each stove is handcrafted. A defining operational choice was to keep design, construction, installation, training and after-sales support closely integrated, with many of the same skilled professionals who build the stoves also handling their installation. This end-to-end approach, together with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship, became central to the brand's identity. Over time, Control Induction developed a deliberately limited product range, concentrated on induction hobs and planchas (about 95% of the offering) with a small share of complementary equipment such as salamanders, ovens and fridges. It built a portfolio of configurations including bespoke induction suites, island suites, wall suites, peninsula suites, The Slider® and The French plancha, allowing it to match the favoured stove and pass configuration for many of the restaurants whose designs it is involved in. The company also invested in large stocks of spare parts to support a service promise of a 90%+ first-visit fix rate. Control Induction operates as a trading division of Hygienius Ltd, which also includes the trading divisions Thermo-Box UK and Blaze UK. Its equipment has been adopted by professional kitchens including The Loch & The Tyne by Adam Handling and The Gaff in Ellon. The brand continues to be based at Unit 17, Platt Industrial Estate, Maidstone Road, Borough Green, Kent TN15 8JL, and presents itself as the only UK company specialising in induction stoves.
