One Group.
Thirteen Businesses… And Growing!
A group of British businesses
built on solid foundations.
Established and co-founded in 2010 by Cassie and Greg Hutchings, GCH is a group of British-based manufacturing and distribution businesses united by a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term growth. Each business within the group is independently led, retaining its own identity and specialist knowledge, while benefiting from shared resources, strategic oversight, and a collaborative approach to continuous improvement. People are our strongest asset — we are committed to maintaining continuity for employees, customers, and suppliers in everything we do.
We are actively pursuing growth through the acquisition of complementary businesses across the UK and beyond. GCH provides the platform that inspires entrepreneurship, cascading ownership and accountability throughout the group. Our focus is not only on financial performance, but on fostering innovation, enhancing capabilities, and building resilient businesses positioned for the future.
