Pneumatic International i.e. the people who make Henry Hoover. You know the ones that are built like tanks that every cleaning service used because they're so reliable and last forever.

I believe they've also made a handheld one now.

Avoid Dyson, because they're overpriced, the build quality is terrible now, and Dyson is a Brexitier and Trump supporter.

The Henry range looks goofy but they’re truly BIFL - built to last and easily serviceable, with excellent spare parts availability.

Checked the comments to mainly make sure nobody was recommending dyson so glad to see this comment! Plus, didn't they move their HQ to Singapore so probably doesn't count as UK based anyway? Either way they suck.

My Henry (built in the UK) is still going strong after lots of abuse and use
