Hillsdown Holdings Ltd.
 PROFILE
Hillsdown Holdings has tea time covered with a full tray of UK food businesses, and a comfy chair to settle into. The company's Premier International Foods makes some of the UK's favorite teas (Typhoo and Ridgways), preserves (Chivers, Hartley's, and Rose's), and pickles and sauces. Other products include HL Foods' canned fruits and vegetables. However, much of Hillsdown's canning business comes from private-label items for supermarkets. The company's furniture businesses include Christie-Tyler and Walker and Homer, both leading upholstered furniture makers. Hillsdown is owned by Texas-based investment firm Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst.
