Inside the Factory ‘Brushes Up’ on Hillbrush

Hillbrush, the UK’s longest established manufacturer of traditional brushes and specialist cleaning tools has had a ‘brush’ with TV stardom after the company was featured on an episode of BBC TV’s Inside the Factory about vacuum cleaner manufacturer and Hillbrush customer, Numatic.

Inside the Factory, the popular television programme, gives presenters Greg Wallace and Cherry Healey exclusive access to some of the largest factories in Britain to reveal the secrets behind production on an epic scale.

In the episode featuring Numatic, Cherry Healy visited Hillbrush, where Chairman Philip Coward showed her how the 40,000 brushes a week supplied by Hillbrush to Numatic are manufactured. Cherry also saw how brushes are made and the types of material used for different kinds of brushes – from stiff cocoa fibre for hard brushes, through to softer materials used to brush a horse’s face, for example.
