Local Manufacturing. Over 150 YearsGH Commercial is privileged to draw on over 150 years of manufacturing experience in Australia and New Zealand through Godfrey Hirst operations. The Godfrey Hirst name is truly synonymous with Geelong, dating back to 1865 when Charles Shannon and a young entrepreneurial Godfrey Hirst purchased two established woolen and cloth mills on the banks of the Barwon River. From these humble beginnings, Godfrey Hirst has grown to be one of Australia's largest and most successful flooring brands. As part of our commitment to our planet, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint through careful and responsible resource management and the continued investment in new technology to improve our processes.
