We’re proud of our heritage and how we’ve grown as a business over the years. Discover just a few highlights.
It was back in 1971 in the city of Nottingham that Tony Hillary fitted his first made-to-measure blind. As a sole trader, Tony was responsible for everything from advertising and selling to manufacturing and fitting, all from the garage of his home.
In those early days, Tony was only able to offer customers Venetian blinds. But with hard work, the business grew and it wasn’t long until he expanded the product range and hired advisors.
After a successful six years, production moved from garage to factory in 1977, with manufacturing facilities opening in Nottingham and Washington, Tyne and Wear. Since then we’ve continued to grow, becoming major employers in both areas.
From our first TV and radio advertising in the mid-nineties, to major TV sponsorships like Homes on 4, we’ve worked hard to get our name out there. And now? We hope you’ve all seen our Winnie the Owl TV ads, voiced by Jennifer Saunders.
We’re always up for a challenge and in 2008 we appeared in the Guinness Book or Records for making the biggest Vertical blind in the world measuring 20.1 metres wide x 8.3 metres high.
In recent years we’ve collaborated with big names in the world of interiors on exclusive collections, from experts like House Beautiful to designers like Abigail Ahern and Poodle & Blonde.
In 2017 we became part of the Hunter Douglas group, a global leader in window coverings and architectural products, which has been innovating since the introduction of the world’s first aluminium blind in 1946.
In 2023 we welcomed our first Head of Environment and Sustainability to the team. Since then, we’ve introduced programs to tackle waste and carbon emissions, and we’re continually improving the sustainable fabric choices for our customers.

“Excellent!”
Excellent! From start to finish our Hillary's Rep was brilliant, talked us through all of our options and measured up quickly and efficiently. We were provided with a no obligation quote and were given time to think about our decision. Fitting was brilliant, took almost no time at all and we are very pleased with the finished look. Excellent quality and value for money. Would highly recommend.
“"Delighted with the outcome of my order”
The blinds were measured in the shortest time and without any hassle, the room where they were to be fitted was not easy to work but Paul did so easily. They were fitted some 12 days later and I was taken completely by surprise when he arrived well ahead of the time stated and also when he told me they were fitted. Really professional and polite, this made the whole business a treat pleasure. I will certainly recommend Hillarys for any further jobs and to my friends.
“A great product”
It was easy to book the appointment and I was keep informed about time and date via text. The fitter was prompt for the appointment and was very pleasant and efficient. There was a good range of colours and patterns to choose from and the fitting process was also quick and efficient. The blind looks great and operates smoothly. I would use the company again."
