Mander Organs

That company filed for insolvency in 2020 with their trading name and intellectual rights being bought out by the Canterbury firm F. H Browne and Sons.

N.P Mander built and installed numerous celebrated organs, notably the 68-stop four manual and pedal organ in the Church of St Ignatius Loyola, New York[1] – reportedly the largest mechanical action built by a British builder.

An early setback was the loss of the organ he was working on, along with all his tools, in the first air raid of the Blitz in 1940.

The rebuilding of church organs after World War II provided significant business for the company.

On John Pike Mander's retirement at the end of 2018 the company's shareholding was transferred to an Employee Ownership Trust, giving all members of staff a stake in the future of the business.
