Brenell Engineering Ltd. was a British manufacturer of audio electronics, in particular professional quality reel-to-reel tape decks.

The company was founded in 1947 by Robert Hahn and Peter Glazer, as a small precision engineering company based in Northington Street, Clerkenwell. In 1953 the company produced its first tape recorder and went on to become a leading manufacturer of bespoke tape decks, including multi-track studio machines.

After a series of financial setbacks, the company was formally dissolved in January 1984. [1]

All of The Beatles had Brenell tape recorders installed in their homes[dubious – discuss]. These were used to make various tape loops and other recordings that eventually found their way onto several Beatles recordings, such as Tomorrow Never Knows.
