The Hughes company motto of “inspiring customer loyalty through quality customer service” remains as relevant today as when Frank Hughes first founded the business, 95 years ago.

Founded in 1921, Frank bought his first shop, building and selling radios in 1928. After Frank passed away his family continued to run the company. Hughes remains a true family business, with the third generation now at the helm.

Hughes was quick to embrace and introduce new technologies as they developed. By not just selling but also renting, labour-saving appliances & devices became affordable in the post-war austerity years. Expansion followed and by the end of the 20th century Hughes had over 30 shops and 5 service centres. Hughes has continued to grow its retail footprint further; this growth means that Hughes is one of the country's largest specialist electrical retailers and the 2nd largest provider of home entertainment and kitchen appliance rentals. Hughes was delighted to win the 2016 Domestic and General Internet Retailer Of The Year award.

Ongoing training and development for all staff is key to ensuring our customers continue to receive the excellent customer service that is a cornerstone of who we are.
