FOUNDED as Worcester Engineering in 1962 by Cecil Duckworth, Worcester Bosch began as a small city business at the Old Vinegar Works in St Martin’s Gate.
As the years have passed, it has grown into a name recognised across the country, joining the Bosch Group in 1992 and becoming the market leader for boilers in the UK.
