Centenary Celebrations

Original site at the foot of Castle Hill, Mere. Fred and Bill Coward established the business in 1922, and Hillbrush is still a family owned and run business today. Charlie and Andy Coward, the fourth generation, took over as joint managing directors from Philip (Charlie's father) in 2018. Peter, Bill's grandson, runs the Baltimore operation in the USA.

This is a special time for Hillbrush as we celebrate our centenary. 2022 marks a huge milestone and one that we hope to celebrate with our many customers, partners and suppliers, who have all contributed to Hillbrush’s success and longevity.

Hillbrush is also extremely proud to have had a loyal workforce throughout its 100 years and this success could not have been achieved without their hard work and dedication.

We hope to welcome you to our offices in Mere, take a tour of our manufacturing plant and dine in our Visitor Centre, which includes our museum highlighting 100 years of brush manufacturing. To register your interest in visiting, please scan the QR Code.
