Made-to-measure blinds, curtains, and shutters with in-home installation across UK and Ireland
Hillarys is a manufacturing and service-led retailer operating three production facilities in Nottingham and Washington, selling custom window furnishings direct to consumers via in-home advisors. The hiring profile is heavily weighted toward sales and field roles—343 sales positions against just 2 engineering headcount—reflecting a labor-intensive business model where customer acquisition and installation capacity are the core constraints. Pain points cluster around seasonal demand management, recruiter churn (advisors, installers), and geographic expansion.

Production is split across three facilities in Nottingham and Washington, Tyne and Wear. The company employs 1,001–5,000 people and is headquartered in Nottingham, a historic textile hub.
