1900s

Hillbrush was founded in 1922 by Fred and Bill Coward in Mere, Wiltshire, England. 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 fiber-dressing department, established in 1926. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth II visited Hillbrush's property and the company was granted a Royal Warrant to Her Majesty The Queen in 1981. 2000s
In 2001, Hillbrush purchased Champion Brush Inc. based in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2016, Hillbrush moved to a new facility at Norwood Park, on the outskirts of Mere, Wiltshire, and rebranded its logo. A museum, Visit Hillbrush, opened in 2017 to commemorate the history of brush-making and the company's history. Hillbrush celebrated its 100th birthday in 2022, and its products were among those used in the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. References
