After many years in wholesale, we have made the strategic decision to partner with QDS Direct, who are taking over our wholesale distribution from the 1st of September 2025.
By combining the strengths of Hilton Banks and QDS, we are confident this partnership will offer you a broader product range, improved availability, and an even better service moving forward.
Whilst we are stepping away from wholesale distribution, we are certainly not going anywhere. Our focus is now firmly on growing our own brands – HB42, and our newest acquisition, Flag Paints. As part of this transition, QDS will become the exclusive distributor for HB42.
To help ensure a smooth transition, we are pleased to share that both Mike Poole and Tony Gevertz, our area sales managers, will be joining QDS. Their experience and strong relationships with you will help maintain continuity and keep everything running seamlessly.
We also plan to visit as many of our customers in-store as possible over the coming month to answer questions, and most importantly, to thank you in person.
Thank you for your loyalty and support over the years – It has been a pleasure working with you, and we are proud of what we have built together.
We are excited for this next chapter and look forward to continuing our relationship – now through our trusted partner & distributor, QDS.
Kind regards,
The HB Management Team
