History

Enodis was founded by Samuel and William Berisford in 1851 as a small grocery and pharmacy in Manchester under the name S&W; Berisford. William Berisford, a grandson of the founder, started trading in sugar at the end of the 19th Century. The business incorporated in 1910. and also several other subsidiaries to become a focused food equipment production company. Manitowoc returned with a fresh offer in April 2008, valuing Enodis at around £1 billion. The bid was accepted by the board and shareholders, with the deal closing that October with the delisting of Enodis shares from the London Stock Exchange.

Following an ongoing dispute with Felsted residents Sir Alan Haselhurst raised questions in the House of Commons in 2011 pertaining to Enodis's non delivery of advertised facilities. The matter remains unresolved.
