ABOUT US

David Hughes began selling projection screens from his front room in the 1950's as a market grew out of individuals running home cinema from their Super 8 movie cameras. By the time David founded DRH in 1962 and moved into his first factory in North London the office market was growing as visual presentations became more common. DRH began supplying well-known brand names such as Nobo, Acco and Sahara including sales into the European and Worldwide market. DRH succeeded by manufacturing good quality screens at very competitive prices, and has continued with this formula whilst catering to a changing market.

Most recently with the rise of home cinema DRH has found a new market as people construct their own cinematic experiences, whether with screens built into a room set up or portable screens that can be set up and taken down at will. The continued success of projection screens over say plasma is the ability to economically and easily have a large quality image, and the falling cost of projectors. Home cinema remains a specialist area, but one with a steadily growing market.

One of the factors DRH takes pride in is the resilience of its screens and we often get phone calls from people who first bought their screen from us in the 1950’s and 60’s, and are only now looking to replace it with a more up to date product. Since those early days the improved fabric technology often get remarks from those same customers when they see, say old Super8 movies, on the improved surfaces.

Throughout the changes of the past 50 plus years DRH has remained family controlled and develops all its new projection screens in-house and in its North London factory, home for the past 16 years. As a result we can be sure that we meet our quality and durability standards as well as being able to help customers with queries they may have from first hand advice.
