In The Spotlight: Hunter Stoves - Making Tomorrows Stoves Today

The original Hunter Stoves (Mells) Ltd was formed in the very early 1970’s to satisfy a local need of wood burning stoves for off-grid boiler installations in Somerset and Wiltshire. In 1996 Paul Grimes and Steve Clatworthy purchased the design and manufacturing rights, and relocated the business to an old warehouse they leased just outside Exeter. With a handful of trusted employees, some manufacturing design drawings and a network of loyal dealers the re-emergence of the Hunter brand began.

In 2003 the Parkray brand was added to the group’s portfolio and by 2005 Hunter’s continued growth allowed the purchase of a manufacturing site in Camelford in Cornwall. Included in the plans for the new facility was a home for the R & D engineering team that is still the cornerstone of the groups product development.

The Hunter Group’s ethos from day one has been to constantly evolve product designs that both harness fire’s ability to enhance people’s lives whilst being at the forefront of protecting the environment and it has continued to grow to be one of the most significant brands within the UK stove manufacturing sector.

Today, the Hunter Stoves Group continues to design develop and manufacture world-class woodburning, gas and multifuel appliances distributed by a family of 600+ dedicated retailers throughout the UK and across the globe.
