WHO WE ARE

Established since 1959, its main trading activities during the sixties were focused in textiles and exporting from the renowned northern mills to over 100 countries. By the mid 1970’s, The Hira Company had established itself as a major importer and distributor of electronic consumables within the United Kingdom and Europe. We had long association and partnerships with a number of major Japanese conglomerates and were official distributors for Sharp Electronics, Casio, Pioneer, Japan CBM, to name but a few.

The Texet brand was purchased in the late 70s, this was an established consumer electronics brand, with office products and electronics being at the forefront of the product portfolio. Texet products have grown across many categories from memory to consumer gadgets and are now available in many of the world’s most renowned global retailers.

The Group has since expanded beyond trading, to Digital and Ecommerce, Property Investment, Private Equity and as well been supportive of young entrepreneurs and the start up space. As we evolve in our third generation, we remain committed to our ideals and trading zeal.

Our Founders

GREAT TEAM

Shyam Karamchand Hira (1921 – 2002) & Rukmani Shyam Hira (1920 – 2008)
Coming from a heritage of landowners ( Zamindars) in India before partition, our Father decided against following this path and was more attracted towards the commerce and trade. He studied widely and intently and choose the course of textiles, which brought him to Manchester in the UK in the early 1950s. The Company was founded not long after in 1959 and grew from inception across industries and Geography.

Our Mother’s strength, resilience and love was integral to the growth of the group and as life President she was always there to provide counsel and advice as called upon. Unity and respect were her bedrock and foundation, as well as spiritual teaching and service to her community.

Our value system was always based on our parents' teaching. We have sought to distill those lessons into what they mean to us today and have we continued to apply them now.

Given the adapting environment and our strength in sourcing, developing our channels for direct to consumer models is a natural progression.
