New Permaframe showroom opens serving Bath and surrounding area
Permaframe has opened a new showroom at Hillier Garden Centre Bath in a deal uniting two of the South West’s best-loved family-run businesses.
Established in Frome in 1985, for over 40 years Permaframe has been at the heart of home improvements, including windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries, extensions and replacement roofs, across Somerset and the wider South West.
Hillier is one of the UK’s oldest horticultural businesses and remains family-owned, with the fifth generation of the Hillier family actively involved in the company. Founded in 1864, the business has grown from a small nursery to a network of 22 garden centres across southern England.
The deal with Hillier marks Permaframe’s first expansion in 25 years as it seeks to further its reach across the region following a period of growth, during which it merged with sister company TWC Home Improvements.
The opening reflects growing demand for high-quality home improvement products across Bath and the wider region, while making it easier for homeowners to access inspiration and advice as they plan improvements both inside and outside their homes.
Permaframe employs around 25 members of staff, and the new showroom will showcase a range of home improvement products, allowing visitors to explore windows, doors and living space solutions first-hand and receive expert advice from the company’s experienced team.
George Hillier, Hillier Chairman, said, “We’re very pleased to welcome Permaframe – another well-established, family-run brand – to Hillier Garden Centre Bath. Both companies share a similar ethos of quality products and services, and a keen emphasis on customer service, so it was a natural fit for us both.
“We’re proud to have, for many years, supported our customers in improving their gardens and homes, so it makes perfect sense to offer them the opportunity to find out more about how Permaframe can support them with a range of complementary services.”
Co-Director of TWC and Permaframe, Joseph Heaton, added, “When we were looking for another showroom space for Permaframe, Hillier was at the top of our list. They are a big, reputable and trusted brand across southern England, and we’re excited to be on board with such a well-loved household name.
“Whether you are looking to invest in your home, your garden or both, you can now get expert advice all in one place. We’re looking forward to welcoming Hillier and Permaframe customers, new and old, to the showroom.”
