Hillbrush, also known as The Hill Brush Company, is a British manufacturing, cleaning product, and hygiene company. Established in 1922 by Fred and Bill Coward as a family business, Hillbrush focuses on brush development, with other products including squeegees, shovels, buckets, and paddles.[1]

History

1900s

Hillbrush was founded in 1922 by Fred and Bill Coward in Mere, Wiltshire, England.[2] The Coward brothers produced wooden-backed brushes, later bringing their respective sons into the business and expanding their services to include plastic-backed brushes for the food and beverage industries. Hillbrush was one of the first companies to create a brush fibre-dressing department, established in 1926. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth II visited Hillbrush's property and the company was granted a Royal Warrant in 1981.[3]

2000s

In 2001, Hillbrush purchased Champion Brush Inc., based in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. In 2016, Hillbrush moved to a new facility at Norwood Park, on the outskirts of Mere, Wiltshire, and rebranded its logo.[4] A museum, Visit Hillbrush, opened in 2017 to commemorate the history of brush-making and the company's history.[5] Hillbrush celebrated its centenary in 2022.[6]
