OUR STORY

From a Garden Shed to a Passionate, Thriving Family Business.

FROM ONE MAN WITH A SEWING MACHINE, TO A THRIVING FAMILY BUSINESS

This is our story:

1993

In 1993, Darren Hutchinson hired a bouncy castle for his daughter’s birthday. Disappointed with the quality, he thought, “I could do better than this.” With no background in manufacturing and zero experience using a sewing machine, he set out to reverse engineer the castle himself.

1993
1995

After more than a year of trial and error in his garden workshop, Darren successfully built his own bouncy castle. He began selling them to hire companies across the UK—and did so for the next 20 years.

1995
2013

In 2013, Darren started experimenting with new products online. One of the first was a simple clear PVC cover for a rabbit hutch—designed to keep pets warm during winter. A customer who purchased one of these covers also owned a garage and phoned Darren with an unusual request: a much larger version to help control dust and regulate the temperature in his workshop.

And just like that, the next chapter began.

2013
2013

By day, Darren took orders over the phone. By night, he stitched custom curtains in his backyard shed. A few years into this new venture, his son Luke returned from university and offered to help with social media.

Luke, already a budding entrepreneur with several businesses under his belt, quickly saw the potential. He went all in—partnering with Darren to turn the side hustle into a serious business.

2013
2020

He took the reins and accelerated growth, building a team and moving production into proper business premises in 2020.

2020
2024

From 2020 to 2024, the company grew by over 50% each year. As demand increased, so did ambition—taking on larger contracts and refining the product range to meet new needs and higher standards.

2024
2024

Later that year, Luke’s partner Chanel came on board as Head of Marketing. But it wasn’t long before her natural talent for connecting with customers made her our top-performing salesperson.

2024
2025

In 2025, Natalie led a major milestone—relocating the business to a larger, state-of-the-art facility where our growing team now crafts high-performance sliding curtains, partition walls, and retractable spray booths.

We've had a 60m factory divider in plywood and PVC, and an 18m curtain installed. The price was competitive, the installers were helpful and proactive, and the finished product gives a modern look to the factory. The standard of workmanship is very high. I wouldn't hesitate to use Hutchinsons again. Thanks to the whole team. You have been a pleasure to work with.

Ordered a cover for our Ford transit, there’s a guide on the website of how to measure your vehicle which makes it simple to order. The delivery came within 48 hours, which I was pleasantly surprised about. When the cover arrived it was better than I ever expected, exactly what we needed. We ordered the transport bag as well and this is great, as there plenty of room to fit the cover in when your on the go.

I have an L200 but couldn't afford the price of a cover for the back, I also have a folding camper. I wondered if I could cover the truck back like the camper so can use with ease when needed. I saw this company and called, they made me a bespoke size, shipped and arrived 2 days later. Absolutely brilliant.

I ordered some workshop curtains from Hutchinson's, they were a bespoke size with a window in them. After I paid for them, I didn't expect to see them for a while, but within days the box was here with everything I'd asked for. We've not got around to hanging them yet, but have opened them out and they look just the job, delighted with both curtains and the service.

Recently installed a 20ft curtain by Hutchinsons and it was even better than I thought it would be, the team recommended the tracking system due to the weight and was very easy to install! They were very helpful and it got delivered in good time as they had to make it plus they were very helpful with advise, perfect for my buisness, definitely would recommend, thanks again.

We very recently had a industrial partition installed by these guys. We're very happy with the result. Working with them, the whole project from design through to installation was a good experience. I would recommend them and will plan to use the same company if we have any similar needs in the future.

When looking for tipper canopies back in 2022 we came across Hutchinson's who were really helpful. As tree surgeons our canopies are constantly being used on a daily basis. The canopies ordered in 2022 are still intact with no tears, cracking or wear from weather. 100% recommend Hutchinson's. We have just ordered another 2 for the latest vehicles.
