Whitakers of Shipley
The Japanese Panasonic Corporation started life in 1918 as the Matsushita Electric Industrial Company just over 40 years before Whitakers of Shipley first opened its doors.
Starting his working life as a bicycle apprentice, Konosuke Matsushita, is famously quoted as saying, "Everything worth doing is worth doing it 100%". With such a similar philosophy, it's not suprising that 50 years of Whitakers of Shipley has made it one of Panasonic's favourite appliance retailers in the UK.
