Hume Internationale saves the day

Just like Superman - George Reeves once did - Hume Internationale saves the market time and time again.

The room is pitch black, only the echo of a dripping tap splits the silence. The walls are bare and cracked, bristling with a furry green mildew.

Somewhere out there a superhero is circling, waiting to descend into renovating hell and unleash a special kind of magic that will wash all your troubles away. Is there such a force in today’s world?

Hume Internationale Wallcoverings a survivor in a tough industry

Hume Internationale wallcoverings a tough survivor in a tough industry

Hume Internationale has been in the wallcovering business since 1971. Back then, things were very different. Evonne Goolagong and John Newcombe ruled Wimbledon. Billy McMahon took control of the country, whilst Ian Chappell took control of the baggy greens. The TV bristled with new talent as we watched Homicide, Get Smart, Hogan’s Heroes, Dad’s Army, The Partridge Family, Pick A Box and Young Talent Time. Eagle Rock was number one for 10 weeks, Olivia Newton John released her first album and John Farnham was a rising star. Greenpeace and Federal Express opened their doors and the world’s first microprocessor was launched. Movie goers flocked to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Fiddler On The Roof, A Clockwork Orange and Dirty Harry. The average wage was $6,497 and a bottle of Grange Hermitage cost around $7. Amidst all this commotion, Hume Internationale was born and continues to evolve today.

Terry Clark Wallpaper legend

Terry Clark: Queensland wallcovering industry veteran

When NASA wanted to recruit a fresh squadron of astronauts a few years ago, they made sure all the applicants were aware of the expectations. Their job ad featured the following line: “The position requires extensive travel. Possible destinations may include - but are not limited to - Texas, Florida, California, Russia, Kazakhstan, the International Space Station and the moon.” At Hume Internationale, all of our employees have thankfully remained on earth - and they know we expect the very best. That’s why we work with Terry Clark, our long-serving industry guru in the sunshine state.

Peter Brotherton- wallpaper legend

Peter Brotherton: wallcovering industry veteran

Amazingly, it’s a sales manager. But not any sales manager. Peter Brotherton is the Sales Manager at Hume Internationale. We prefer to call him seasoned, rather than ancient. That’s a good thing too, because what he doesn’t know about wallpaper hasn’t been written yet. Peter has seen it all and remains joyously enthusiastic about the design possibilities that today’s wallpaper can bring to your next project. His expertise and passion are part of the extra service you get when dealing with Hume Internationale. We’re proud to have him, and he’s proud to be part of our great company.
