John Bloom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bloom, born in 1931, was a British entrepreneur who headed the Rolls Razor company in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Bloom manufactured washing machines which he advertised heavily and sold largely through hire purchase deals. Following on from the post-war years of austerity, the British government relaxed the availability of hire purchase. This was a factor in the slogan associated with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, "you've never had it so good". Bloom's washing machines gathered a reputation for low quality and unreliability, and he himself was suspected of malpractice, if not dishonesty. Rolls Razor ceased trading in 1964, and little has been heard of Bloom since he published his book in 1971.[1]
