Supporting local industry and manufacturing is vital to rebuilding the economy, which is why Godfrey Hirst is proud to announce a partnership with the official Australian Made campaign.
The Godfrey Hirst name is synonymous with Geelong, dating back to the late 19th century when Charles Shannon and Godfrey Hirst purchased two established woollen and cloth mills. From these humble beginnings, Godfrey Hirst has grown to be one of Australia’s largest and most successful flooring brands.
Backed by a heritage of local manufacturing at three Victorian facilities plus two distribution centres, including a state-of-the-art palletized distribution centre in Truganina, Godfrey Hirst are leaders in the production and supply of premium floor coverings throughout Australia and New Zealand.
A local investment in design, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution provides total supply chain oversight, ensuring quality control and consistency from product creation right through to delivery. At the heart of the business, a dedicated, diverse and inclusive local workforce reliably delivers outstanding service across each process.
Partnering with the official Australian Made campaign aligns Godfrey Hirst with Australia’s most trusted, recognized and widely used country or origin symbol, underpinned by a third-party accreditation system that authenticates genuinely Australian products.
Key among the collection of global GH Commercial products is the extensive range of Australian-made tiles, planks and broadloom carpets. Given 90% of Australian consumers recognize the familiar green and gold tag and are more likely to buy Australian-made products, a licence to display the iconic logo is more important now than it has ever been.
