About

Ruchi Dhir has always had an unwavering passion for business, travel and meeting new people. You only have to look at what she’s done throughout her career to see that these passions have been the driving force behind her incredible success.

Although she may have only officially started working for them 17 years ago, Ruchi has been involved with her father’s business- Harewood International Ltd- for her entire life. Even at the tender age of just 14 years old, she was going to exhibitions in Birmingham and getting involved in the business world.

Although she may have only officially started working for them 17 years ago, Ruchi has been involved with her father’s business- Harewood International Ltd- for her entire life. Even at the tender age of just 14 years old, she was going to exhibitions in Birmingham and getting involved in the business world.
But after finishing university and experiencing a year in Germany, Ruchi had her heart set on starting a law conversion course- which would put her on a level playing field with those that studied law at undergraduate level. Although she was told that her previous commercial experience would give her an advantage, Ruchi was asked to go away for a year and come back.

Well, it’s safe to say that this year out ended up shaping Ruchi’s future, and the future of Harewood International.

She decided to use the time to travel to South East Asia, where she was able to learn about the manufacturing processes in countries such as China and Vietnam. Ruchi also travelled around Europe during this period, which gave her the chance to meet new people and learn more about the industry and its trends.

As the year went on, Ruchi fell in love with the industry and decided that this was the path she wanted to take, and now she’s been a part of Harewood International for the last 17 years.

Ruchi went on to build up 3 strong brands during this time and dedicated herself to providing clients with a larger product range. Inglenook Fireside Accessories, Argoria Garden Décor and Highlands Homeware all come under the expansive Harewood umbrella, and these brands have been developed over time to become powerhouses in their own respective industries.

With the implementation and growth of these brands, it’s fair to say that Ruchi has succeeded in expanding the product range. But it’s not all been about maintaining client relationships and diversifying the selection of products, because the logistical support behind the scenes has also been revolutionised under her guidance.

Using her strong client relationships, Ruchi has been able to ensure that her business offers a service that runs seamlessly. Through incredible distribution techniques, rigorous quality control practices and the ability to source exactly what customers need, it doesn’t take a genius to see how Ruchi ‘s business has turned into such a success.

Harewood International now supply a full range of products for home and garden, and it’s going to be incredibly exciting to find out what the next chapter of Ruchi Dhir‘s story will hold.
