Roberts alarm clock radio

Roberts Radio is a storied British consumer electronics brand founded in 1932 by Harry Roberts and Leslie Bidmead. Known for its high-quality craftsmanship and iconic retro designs, the brand has held Royal Warrants as manufacturers and suppliers of radio receivers to the British Royal Family for decades.

While the brand maintains its British heritage and design center in the UK, the manufacturing of most modern Roberts digital and clock radios is handled in China and Taiwan. This allows the company to integrate complex digital DAB+ and Bluetooth technologies while remaining competitive in the global electronics market.

Since 1994, Roberts Radio has been owned by the Glen Dimplex Group, an Irish-headquartered multinational that is one of the world's largest manufacturers of domestic electrical appliances. Their ownership has allowed Roberts to expand from traditional radios into smart speakers and audio systems while maintaining the nostalgic aesthetic that remains a hallmark of the brand.
