CELEBRATING 50 years OF HILLARYS

As experts in made-to-measure window dressings, Hillarys and its network of local advisors know just how to help you find tailor-made solutions for windows of all shapes and styles

This year marks a special milestone as Hillarys celebrates 50 years of style, exceptional service and value you can measure. Knowing that you expect beautiful blinds, curtains and shutters of the highest quality and made to fit perfectly, Hillarys is dedicated to exceeding its customers’ expectations every step of the way. From the exceptional service provided by local advisors to the extensive collection of all the latest styles, plus great-value options to suit every budget, Hillarys is only happy when you are. After all, it’s what they’ve been doing for 50 years.

To learn more about the household name and take a look behind the scenes, presenter and architect, George Clarke, recently visited the Hillarys Academy in Nottingham. George was able to to see how expert advisors learn their craft, before joining experienced advisor Libby, who helped him try out his new skills in real customers’ homes. ‘Hillarys takes care of absolutely everything,’ explains George, ‘from measuring and manufacturing through to fitting, ensuring the best results and the greatest fit, every time.’

Technical know-how

Hillarys is dedicated to exceeding customer expectations every step of the way. A large part of this is down to the extensive Hillarys training, which teaches advisors all the skills they need to complete even the most challenging jobs to perfection. There are many different shapes and sizes of windows, so it’s important they know how to measure and fit in any scenario. ‘From new-builds to Victorian styles, the Hillarys house replicates many types of homes to prepare advisors for the different window challenges they might come across,’ explains trainer Ben.

In good hands

Hillarys has a network of local advisors, so wherever you live, an expert will come and take care of everything. When Jen decided on blinds to replace her old curtains, she called on local advisor, Libby. Hillarys advisors really are part of the community – they understand customers and their homes, and can work around their schedules. Many of Libby’s customers are neighbours, or even friends. ‘I love my job,’ says Libby. ‘Living in the area means I really get to know the types of properties and styles of homes, so I have a good understanding of the solutions my customers are looking for.’

Perfect finish

For 50 years, Hillarys has provided the very best in style and value for its customers. Hillarys products are lovingly crafted by a skilled manufacturing team, and when it comes to measuring and fitting you get the same high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. You’re not just in good hands, you’re in the best hands – that’s why so many customers choose Hillarys as the experts.
