Hillarys Blinds

Hillarys is a leading name in the bespoke window coverings industry, specializing in tailor-made blinds, curtains, and shutters. Founded in 1971 in Nottingham, United Kingdom, the brand has built a reputation over five decades for its end-to-end service, which includes in-home consultations, precise measurements by experts, and professional installation. This direct-to-consumer model has allowed Hillarys to become the market leader in the UK window dressings sector.

The manufacturing of Hillarys products is centered in the United Kingdom, specifically at their large-scale production facilities in Nottingham and Washington, Tyne and Wear. This domestic manufacturing base supports their commitment to craftsmanship and allows for rapid fulfillment of custom orders. The brand has recently expanded its reach internationally, launching operations in markets like Singapore to bring its established service model to a global audience.

In terms of ownership, Hillarys underwent a significant transition in 2017 when it was acquired by the Dutch multinational Hunter Douglas Group. This acquisition integrated Hillarys into the world's largest manufacturer of window coverings. In 2022, the investment firm 3G Capital acquired a controlling interest in Hunter Douglas, placing Hillarys under the ultimate stewardship of a global investment powerhouse headquartered in New York. This ownership structure provides Hillarys with extensive global resources while maintaining its heritage as a quintessential British household brand.
