From humble beginnings in a tiny front room in Accrington to a multi-million pound national ecommerce operation, Harrisons has delivered a century of wholesale excellence.
Throughout its history the business has been at the cutting-edge, adopting innovative ideas and breaking into new markets, thanks largely to the online division it launched in 2006.
Rooted in East Lancashire, the company has a fascinating history. It is named after Albert Harrison, who joined the business in unusual circumstances.
In the 1920s Albert was involved in a motorbike-and-sidecar accident which left founder Hilda Coupe’s father badly injured. He stepped in to help the business, she later married him and he took over the operation.
