HHS Uitgeverij

Piet Hoving and Mieke Janssen laid the foundation of HHS Uitgeverij, in 1975 in Nijmegen. They started the sales unit of the Dutch branch of the British “The Fire Brigade Society’” (which had been established that year by Gerard Koppers), the purpose of which was to import and sell miniature fire engines and fire books that were not available in The Netherlands.

In November 1976 the Dutch branch became an independent Dutch association. On 1st March 1977 Piet and Mieke listed their activities as a business. This was registered at the Chamber of commerce as ‘Holland Hobby Sales’. The rise in the number of specialized model shops lead in 1986, to the decision to no longer sell model cars, the core business then became publishing and book sales.
Holland Hobby Sales became HHS Uitgeverij in September 1986.
