Like nothing that
went before.

From Harley Davidsons to Penguin biscuits, life-saving equipment to life-giving whisky, Hillington has played a major role in shaping Scotland’s economy for over 80 years. Let’s take a quick tour through our storied history. 
1938

A royal opening

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth formally open the estate on the 3rd of May, 1938.

The Park comes to life as 65 companies move into the newly built factories – with rents starting at the bargain price of £1 a week.
1939–45

Europe at war

As WW2 looms, the government builds a large factory at Hillington for Rolls Royce to manufacture aero engines. By 1943, the plant is producing 400 engines a week – playing a huge role in the Allied victory.

The Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engine powered many aircraft, including the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, and Lancaster.

1948

A new type of resident

Remington begin making their famous typewriters at Hillington, with the factory remaining open until 1963.

Fergie Time

Long before he became the most successful British manager of all time, Sir Alex Ferguson worked at the Remington factory as an apprentice toolmaker in the 1960s. It was here that he met his wife, Cathy.

1952

Penguin production picks up

The first Penguin biscuit is created at William Macdonald’s Hillington factory. By 1965, Macdonald & Sons are responsible for almost 20% of all British chocolate biscuit exports.

1976

Major connections

Junction 26 of the M8 opens when Renfrew Bypass is joined up to the motorway. Hillington is now more connected than ever.

1999

Breaking new ground

Our first new speculative industrial development in over three decades opens at Jubilee Court.

2005

End of an era

We wave goodbye to Rolls-Royce after 65 years, as they leave Hillington for a newly built factory in Inchinnan.

2008

Growing Fast

The Hillington community expands in ever more directions with more than 500,00 sq ft of new developments completed by the private sector. 

2015

Hey Arnold

Arnold Clark moves into Hillington and makes the former Makro building its new HQ. A year later, Arnold himself becomes Britain’s first billionaire car dealer.

2018

Birthday Celebrations

We celebrate 80 years at the heart of Scottish
business and industry.

2020

Welcome to Douglas Laing & Co

2022

Building for the future

West 100+200 is completed on the former Rolls-Royce site, along with a range of pre-let drive-thru developments. Within eight months, 70% have been snapped up by ambitious businesses — showing just how bright the future of Hillington is.
