Hillbrush Ready for 100 Year Celebration
Next year marks the 100th birthday of Hillbrush, the UK’s largest and longest established, manufacturer of traditional brushes and specialist cleaning tools and a jam-packed year of celebrations is planned. A new logo has been developed for the company to reflect this significant milestone, with a commemorative book written by chairman Philip Coward reflecting on 100 years of the family business to be launched in January. Mid-summer will see staff celebrations and several fundraising initiatives in aid of the Royal Warrant Holders Associations Charity Fund. A special reception will be held for customers and suppliers in September 2022 at the company headquarters in Mere. Commemorative items, including a specially designed “birthday brush” will be for sale in the Hillbrush visitor center shop throughout the year.
Hillbrush is also investing in its Mere site with a new Centenary building, housing warehousing and staff facilities. Additional solar panels are being extended across buildings throughout the site as part of Hillbrush’s continued environmental commitment.
David Hagelthorn, head of marketing at Hillbrush says, “Hillbrush is a British manufacturing institution that has innovated and diversified with the times but stayed true to its family values. We are all very excited about next year’s 100th birthday and the marketing team is working on a number of projects to celebrate this fantastic achievement with both staff and customers.”
