WuduMate | GLOBAL PIONEERS OF WUDU SOLUTIONS STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR
From the southernmost mosques in New Zealand to an Inuit Mosque in the Canadian Arctic Circle, WuduMate has transformed wudu facilities across six continents.
FROM OBSERVATION TO INNOVATION
WuduMate's story began in Bahrain when English engineer Charles Steel noticed Muslims washing their feet in unsuitable public vanity units before prayer. Recognising this unmet need, he envisioned the world's first purpose-built wudu appliance. After Charles's passing, entrepreneur Nigel Bromilow carried forward this vision, validating the concept through extensive consultation with local mosques and worshippers.
THE PREFAB REVOLUTION
Founded as The Specialist Washing Company Ltd in 2008, WuduMate created the first-ever single prefabricated wudu appliance, the WuduSeat. This groundbreaking innovation launched during the property crash with over £600,000 in angel investment. Despite challenging market conditions, the company persevered, gathering crucial feedback from international exhibitions in Dubai that shaped the evolution of prefab wudu technology.
“When we first researched for a single appliance in which you could wash hands, face and feet, we were surprised not to find anything, and thus we made this our mission and to have suitable models for any building type.” - Nigel Bromilow, Managing Director, WuduMate
A COMPLETE PRODUCT ECOSYSTEM
Through continuous market research and customer feedback, WuduMate evolved from a single prototype into a comprehensive range:
- WuduMate Compact - Space-efficient solution for smaller installations
- WuduMate Classic - The original commercial-grade unit with enhanced water management
- WuduMate Modular - Scalable system for high-usage environments, installable individually or in series
- WuduMate Mobile - Portable solution for locations without permanent water supply (launched 2021)
GLOBAL IMPACT
Today, as the world's undisputed leader in wudu appliances, the company serves not only mosques, Islamic centres, and residential properties, but has become the trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders across sports, automotive, aviation, education, finance, FMCG, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, publishing, technology, and retail sectors, proving that inclusive workplace design is now a business imperative.
To help champion inclusivity across industries worldwide, Nigel has authored Diversity Matters, an internationally celebrated and definitive guide that has established the gold standard for best practices in multi-faith room design, transforming how organisations approach sacred space planning on a global scale.
THE FUTURE
With a new website launching later this Autumn, featuring an ecommerce platform, customers will be able to purchase their product online. WuduMate’s new website will introduce a bold and modern rebrand that reinforces its position as the global leader in ablution products. The updated look and feel, spanning logo, colours, typography, and imagery, has been designed to resonate with its three key audiences: homeowners, commercial organisations, and mosques.
The site’s structure has been completely reimagined to guide users through tailored journeys based on their needs. Homeowners can now explore personal ablution solutions and make direct purchases through a new UK e-commerce platform. Commercial organisations will benefit from easy access to information on multi-faith room installations and project support, while mosque communities will be provided with specialist products and resources. A new, fully searchable product catalogue improves product discovery for all audiences, and the addition of a Multi-Faith Room page, with supplier recommendations, a downloadable guide, and a consultation booking option, further supports organisations in building inclusive, well-equipped spaces. WuduMate continues to enhance Muslim lives globally by providing purpose-designed, high-quality wudu solutions for every environment and need.
