LOOK60 WHO’S


Believe it or not, it’s 60 years since Home Hardware began trading.....


The company was founded on the 28th November 1961 by a small group of forward thinking hardware retailers who felt that, long term, they would not be able to compete profitably by following the traditional methods of distribution.


Their objectives were to purchase their products for less and build a strong membership base which would allow them the resources, facilities and staff to meet any form of competition. When we started operating as a buying group we had no premises and no employees, with all the work being done on a voluntary basis, split between the 8 founding members.


Since 1961, Home Hardware’s membership has grown to over 450 member owned stores and has become an important part of the independent hardware market in the UK, with an annual group turnover of over £35 million.


We now have over 120 employees across our Distribution Centres at Barnstaple and Bedford.


The key to our growth has been the loyalty and support of our retail members, combined with the help of our suppliers and the dedication of our staff.


The great relationships we have developed with our members has been one of the biggest highlights of the past 60 years. Our staff helping retailers and retailers helping their customers, all working together to secure their future.


Our success would certainly not be possible without the support of our members, suppliers and staff, so here’s to the next 60 years and beyond!
