About Edwards and Hill

HISTORY

Founded in 1998 by Managing Partner Tony Hill and Partner Hans Edwards, the company began with an emphasis on multimedia - producing training videos, organizing business conventions, and creating marketing campaigns. 

Changes in market demand have in recent years brought about more of an emphasis on the office furniture arm of the company.  Edwards & Hill is a leading office planner and supplier, able to install one cubicle with its applicable furnishings and computer hardware, yet equally adept at installing hundreds of cubicles, performing re-location and re-configuration services, including workstations, multiple offices, chairs, filing cabinets, and more.
