Hillarys in Paris 🌍🌟 ( or should we say at Maison & Objet ) We’re thrilled to share that some of the Hillarys team has just returned from an inspiring trip to the iconic Maison & Objet in Paris! 🎨🏡 Sarah Able, Victoria Robinson, Samantha Gibson and Laura O'Connell from our PR, Product and Photography teams explored the latest trends and design inspirations. From cutting-edge fabrics to futuristic interior innovations , this event is always a source of fresh ideas. Did you know that the Parisan Edit, which we launched in May, was inspired from their trip in 2023?! Our team is buzzing with inspiration and can't wait to bring these exciting trends back to our designs and products.

Our latest Personal Effectiveness Programme graduates 🎉🎓 The latest cohort of our Personal Effectiveness Programme (PEP) delivered their final presentations this week after 16 weeks of training, and what a group they were! "I have had the privilege of working alongside a truly brilliant group of colleagues as we delved into a wide array of topics as part of our personal effectiveness programme. Together, we explored the principles of positive psychology, the importance of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace, strategies for assertive communication, and the keys to effective time management." says Jo Poyser (she/her), our Learning, Development and Wellbeing Partner. "It has been inspiring to witness the growth and self-reflection of each participant as they applied these concepts to both their professional and personal lives. Hearing their insights and the positive feedback from their managers has been a testament to the hard work and dedication each person has brought to this course." Congratulations to everyone who took part 🎉 #personaleffectiveness #learninganddevelopment #wellbeing #edi

🏆BEST ONGOING USE OF TV🏆 We are incredibly proud to announce that we won the award for 'Best ongoing use of TV' at this years' TV Planning Awards, hosted by Thinkbox! The TV Planning Awards are all about finding and recognising the most innovative and successful television work, whether as part of a multimedia advertising campaign or something shining on its own.  We spoke to our Head of Brand Engagement Christopher McKay about the amazing win: “It’s a huge team achievement! Everyone’s been involved in this journey from building the insights and measuring the return to coming up with the creative concept and activating it thoroughly across all our marketing channels.

💗International Women in Engineering Day💗 We're proud of our talented women who play a pivotal role in our Engineering and Technical teams. Their dedication, knowledge and passion is what drives everything forwards and inspires us all every day. In honour of International Women in Engineering Day, we spoke to Emma Beresford, our Quality Technician and Katie Tang, our Production Engineer. "I have always been interested in how things work in the technical department, so when an opportunity came up for a Quality Technician, which sounded fascinating and totally different from what I had been doing, I went for it. I have now been in my current role for seven years, and the Quality and Technical team have always been so helpful in furthering my knowledge of our products and advising solutions to problems. I have never had any issues being a woman working in engineering and would recommend it highly" says Emma. "From a young age, I have been fascinated by science and mathematics. Working in a role that aligns with my interests makes each day engaging and fulfilling. As a woman in Production Engineering, I find my role extremely rewarding. I have the opportunity to optimise manufacturing processes and contribute to new product launches. The support and collaboration within our team are fantastic, making it a great environment to be part of" says Katie #internationalwomeninengineering #empowerment #technical #engineering
