Shining bright this Black Friday; the Hillarys colleagues 🪩✨ We just wanted to give a big shoutout to our Hillarys teams across the business for their hard work during our busiest time of year. From the office teams who plan every detail, to our contact centre staff answering customer queries and booking appointments, to our advisors visiting thousands of homes across the country to provide that personal Hillarys touch. Behind the scenes, our factory team are working tirelessly to craft every order with care, ensuring everything shines as brightly as our Black Friday creative—complete with disco balls and gold glitter (we personally LOVE this year’s look!) This has been a true team effort, and we’re incredibly grateful to colleagues involved. #Hillarys #HillarysBlinds #Bestteam #LoveWhatYouDo #TeamHillarys #DreamTeam #BlackFriday

Festivities at Hillarys HQ 🎃🪔   This week at Hillarys, we got into the festive spirit with not one but two celebrations! Yesterday, we embraced Halloween in true style with department costumes, quizzes and spooky fun. Inside out, BLT sandwiches, the plague… our teams really went all out to make it a frightfully fantastic day 👻🕸️   We also marked Diwali by sharing traditional treats and samosas, bringing a bit of warmth and togetherness to the office. Celebrating these traditions side by side made for a special week, and it was great to see everyone join in.   Thanks to everyone who helped make it a memorable one! 🌟 #Hillarys #HillarysBlinds #HalloweenFun #DiwaliCelebration #FestiveSpirit #SpookySeason #DiwaliAtWork #CelebratingTraditions #Lovewhatyoudo

As Black History Month draws to a close, we want to reflect on the stories we’ve shared and the progress we’ve made in Reclaiming Narratives. Throughout this month, our employees have honoured and learned about trailblazers - from Ignatius Sancho, Mary Seacole, to Wilston Samuel Jackson, whose legacies of resilience and courage continue to inspire us.   An initiative we've really resonated with us this year has been the #MyNameIs campaign, launched by Race Equality Matters. This movement reminds us that correctly pronouncing names is a small, but impactful way to show respect and inclusion. By using phonetic spellings in email signatures and profiles, this can help towards creating a more inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued.   As we close out Black History Month, let’s carry these lessons forward—continuing to uplift Black voices, honour their contributions, and foster an environment of respect, belonging, and equality.   #Hillarys #BlackHistoryMonth #ReclaimingNarratives #MyNameIs #InclusionMatters #CelebrateDiversity #RespectAndBelonging #BlackExcellence #LoveWhatYouDo

🎉Congratulations to Zoe Ball who is celebrating 10 years of service this month🎉 This month, we're excited to celebrate Zoe Ball, our dedicated Employee Communications Manager, who has reached a remarkable milestone—10 years with us at Hillarys! Zoe joined us straight out of university in September 2014, after earning her degree in English. Starting her journey in the Content team, she later transitioned into Internal Communications, where she's been making an impact since 2018. Here's Zoe reflecting on her time with us: "I started working at Hillarys straight out of university after graduating with an English degree. I started in the Content team in Marketing, and then in 2018, I moved into the Internal Comms team to work as an Employee Communications Manager. Now, I look after comms for our colleagues, including our intranet platform, ‘The interior’. It gives me a great deal of job satisfaction to know that if I do my job well, I’m enabling others to do theirs well too. Since I’ve worked here, I’ve got married, been on maternity leave with my son, and in a couple of weeks’ time, I’ll be going off on maternity leave to have my daughter. I’m lucky to work with such a great team, and to have seen some amazing changes in the department. Things never stay still, meaning there’s always something exciting to get involved in." Zoe, congratulations once again on this milestone. Your hard work and positive energy make a huge difference every day, and we're lucky to have you on the team. Here's to the next chapter! 🎉 #Hillarys #Anniversary #Celebration #EmployeeSpotlight #TeamHillarys #WorkAnniversary #10Years
