The Story of Hill Interiors

Hill Interiors are importers and distributors of occasional furniture and accessories for interiors lighting, and other items for the garden and the home as well as replica militaria. Based in Yorkshire Hill Interiors, the company purchases from more than 100 factories, mostly located in the Far East. The product lines are constantly changed to ensure that they supply its more than 4,500 trade customers with the most current and most popular products.

With its unique and sophisticated home furnishings, Hill Interiors has developed an approach to selling that involves the design of ‘full-room layouts that are displayed on its stand at trade shows. The goal is to help customers with their vision of themes or rooms and also create cross-selling opportunities.

With more than 40 years experience in the business, Hill Interiors is well established, yet their team recognize the necessity of attracted by new customers and create brand new opportunities for sales.

Hill Interiors Toss The Curtains Wide Northern Pride

Two local family-owned businesses have strengthened their working relationship through a recently updated fleet of curtainsiders with a 40-foot length.

The Bedale-based Hill Interiors, a leading wholesale furniture retailer, and Middlesbrough haulage company Ward Bros (Malton) Ltd formed a partnership that was successful about 18 months back. Ward Bros is now set to livery 10 percent of its fleet with Hill Interiors’ branding.

Hill Interiors’ managing director, Julian Potter, said: “As a family-owned importer and distributor, we place a great value on the reliability, flexibility, and exceptional client service. We count on partners who are committed to our principles. Through Ward Bros we’ve found exactly this and at a affordable cost as well. We are delighted to work with another Northern firm.”

Ward Bros is part of the Palletways network and makes use of its membership to effectively serve Hill Interiors’ need to connect to its 4,500 clients across Europe, the UK and Europe which comprise home interiors stores (both high street and on the internet) gardens centres, as well as hospitality. The partnership frequently offers next-day delivery to satisfy the needs of retail customers to replenish items they purchased on the day. This is an enormous benefit for retailers’ liquidity and storage.

From his North Yorkshire headquarters, Hill Interiors’s director, Nik Hill, said: “It gives me huge satisfaction to see liveried wagons designed by our in-house graphic designer, rolling across the lawn. My parents began with a small team and vehicles that were not even 10 percent of the size. It’s because of the dedication and hard work of their team over the years that we’ve gotten to the point we are at today.”

Hill Interiors is on target to grow even more this year. It currently employs more than 140 employees, and has sent two or three artics of products to trade customers every day.
