The HJ Hall Sock Shop
At the age of 28, John Hall, a foreman for a hosiery manufacturer in Hinckley, asked his bank for an overdraft to build the first HJ Hall factory in the small Leicestershire village of Stoke Golding. From his meagre wage of £2 a week, he managed to save £500, a substantial sum in 1882. This was doubled by his wife, Sarah Hall, who raised a mortgage on their house, which she owned. From a small firm employing just 16 people and with a monthly turnover of £32 4s 4d, HJ Hall has grown to become the largest independent UK sock manufacturer today. Now, more than 126 years on, the business has seen 4 generations of the Hall at the helm continuing its successful growth by following the philosophy set out by "Honest" John Hall from the start.
