After years of working with TV presenter and architect George Clarke, he really has become part of the Hillarys family. It was especially lovely to take him on a tour behind the scenes at Hillarys to meet the talented people behind our products at every step of the way.
Back in 1971, it all started with a Venetian blind so where better to begin the tour than our Venetians factory in Washington, Tyne and Wear.
In an exciting day on the factory floor, George spent time with our dedicated experts, following the steps involved in making a Venetian blind and getting a first-hand look at all the skill involved in the process.
It was brilliant to see such a lovely group of people bring their skills together to create a blind that will fit your windows perfectly and is built to last.
When you visit a Hillarys showroom, you not only get expert advice, but a really friendly and welcoming service too. George discovered exactly how the team help customers when he joined manager Laura at our showroom in Cheltenham.
From seeing how different types of blinds work to feeling sumptuous curtain textures, Hillarys showrooms are the perfect places to get inspired and discover styles and solutions that work for you. Watch the video to see what happened when we invited George Clarke to spend the day at our showroom in Cheltenham, catching up with manager Laura and even helping one of our customers.
It was amazing to see Laura ask all the right questions so she could make recommendations that would work for customer Ali and help her make the most of her space.
