HJ Hall
In 1882 John Hall, a foreman for a hosiery manufacturer in Hinckley, asked his bank for an overdraft to build the first HJ Hall factory in the small Leicestershire village of Stoke Golding. From his meagre wage of £2 a week, he managed to save £500, which was doubled by his wife, Sarah Hall, who raised a mortgage on their house, which she owned.
From a small firm employing just 16 people, HJ Hall has grown to become the largest independent UK sock manufacturer today.
Now, more than 129 years on, the business has seen 4 generations of the Hall family at the helm continuing its successful growth by following the philosophy set out by "Honest" John Hall from the start. If it is quality, style and comfort you are looking for make sure you look for the Hall Mark, the original and best.
HJ has survived 129 years by focusing on what they do best – socks. Their passion has enabled them to survive wars, recessions and depressions and allowed them to grow into the HJ Sock Group as they are known today.
