100 YEARS OF BRITISH MANUFACTURING

Directors and Senior Management at Hillbrush HQ, Mere, UK.

Hillbrush is recognised throughout the world for its brush making and manufacturing expertise. Our wealth of industry knowledge and experience means we deliver the highest quality products, underpinned by excellent customer service.

Our roots lie in crafting traditional wooden brushes, and we are extremely proud to hold a Royal Warrant for the supply of brushware to HM The Queen. Today, Hillbrush still produces a wide range of brooms and ancillary items as part of the Hillbrush Traditional Range.

We have applied that same time-served brush making expertise to the manufacture of specialist hygiene brushes and equipment for use in the food and beverage industries, where our antimicrobial, metal detectable and resin set ranges set us apart from anything else on the market. As well as producing our own products, Hillbrush’s manufacturing capabilities also mean we can produce bespoke items to meet customers’ specific requirements. These can include brushes of a customer’s own design, injection moulding solutions for any industry, corporate branding or workplace cleaning organisation through the use of colourcoded shadow boards.

Hillbrush continues to strive for excellence, and we are excited to showcase some innovative new product development solutions in this catalogue.

As a business, we understand the need to be socially and environmentally responsible and have made huge inroads into developing and implementing sustainable practices, as well as committing to targets that meet and go beyond government guidance for a sustainable future.

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.

Our values are the cornerstone of our company culture and are embedded in the way we behave and manage internal and external business relationships. We pride ourselves in living our values which have served us for the last 100 years.
