At Fans and Blowers, we are proud to work alongside our sister company, B.O.B. Stevenson Ltd—a respected name in the UK fan industry with over 90 years of engineering heritage. Known for their quiet-running blowers and specialist fan solutions, B.O.B. Stevenson brings deep-rooted expertise, craftsmanship, and product innovation to our shared group.
Together, we offer one of the UK’s most comprehensive ranges of industrial and specialist fan products.
A Legacy of Quality Since 1932
Founded as British Organ Blowing in 1932 by Arthur Fryer, the company initially focused on producing quiet blowers for church organs. With the expertise of factory manager Harold Tomlinson, the business quickly grew and began manufacturing cast aluminium fans and blowers for wider industrial use.
Over the decades, B.O.B. Stevenson Ltd has evolved through a series of strategic developments, including:
- Acquisition of the Gordon Stevenson Fan Company and William Alldays Alcosa centrifugal fan ranges (RB & BI)
- Expansion through the purchase of Flamgard Fans
- A UK manufacturing and sales agreement with Piller GmbH, Germany, for high-efficiency process fans
- Development of the Turngrove range of axial and bifurcated fans
- Investment in modern facilities and manufacturing processes
Today, the company remains a trusted engineering partner for OEMs, industrial clients, and bespoke ventilation applications.
Shared Vision. Distinct Expertise.
While Fans and Blowers focuses on custom-engineered fan systems for industrial processes, air control, and combustion applications, B.O.B. Stevenson Ltd complements this by offering:

- Stainless steel fans for offshore and petro-chemical
