Our Heritage
Hystar was founded back in 1977 by Stephen Hyde, from where the company gets its name. When starting the company Stephen played around with the letters in his name 'Stephen Arthur Hyde, eventually coming up with 'HYSTAR' Stephen initially started his career as a Structural Engineer and moved on to property development before retiring leaving his two sons, Timothy and Andrew to take over the Hystar group.
Hystar has been proud to have had both Her Majesty the Queen open a hydrotherapy pool at the Royal Berkshire & Battle Hospital and her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Wessex, open two flat developments that rehoused people into the community.
