R.M. Hall was founded in 1914 by Mr. Raymond Morgan Hall. In its infancy the business was both wholesale and retail and was located at 261 Chapel street, Prahran. The company's letterhead announced it to be an “ Importer of Picture Framers Supplies, Crocker, Glass, China, Cutlery and Kitchen Ironmongery”.
In 1924 Ray Hall made his first trip to Japan and began a 48 year association with the Noritake Company. The second generation entered the company in the 1930’s they were Ray’s sons, Bruce and Max. Peter and John Hall took the company over in the 1970’s as third generation. Peter Hall is our current chairman and CEO.
The need to be more specific and specialised has driven the company and R.M. Hall has exclusively represented overseas companies such as Florence, Fenton, Nikko and several other brands in the decorative homewares field on the Australian market.
As a trading company, we have always relied on our ability to buy and market the right products for an ever changing market, both in fashion tastes and price relevance. The company’s aim is to keep a large, active customer base.
The decade commencing 2000 has seen further developments in the evolving company. The 4’th generation entered the business in this decade, Tom Hall, Kate Hall and Adam Vincent.
Since 1914 R.M. Hall has maintained its reputation as a leader in its field offering the best available products from around the globe, focusing on design, functionality and customer service. We will continue to focus on building awareness of our distributed brands to our markets, offering the best possible outlets to achieve our mutual goals. Equally important is building long term relationships with our suppliers, working as closely as possible with one another to build brand awareness and achieve our sales goal.
