About Hornby

Hornby is a British household name and UK brand leader in model railways, founded by inventor Frank Hornby (1863-1936). Hornby applied for a patent in 1901 for 'Improvements in Toy or Educational Devices for Children and Young People', initially marketed as 'Mechanics Made Easy'. The first clockwork train was produced in 1920, followed by the first OO gauge train in 1938. The Margate factory site was constructed by Lines Brothers Ltd in 1953 as a state-of-the-art facility for Tri-ang Railways. In 1964, Hornby and Meccano faced financial difficulties and were acquired by Lines Brothers, becoming "Tri-ang Hornby". Following Lines Brothers' bankruptcy, the brand was sold to Dunbee-Combex-Marx and rebranded as Hornby Railways in 1972. Hornby became independent again in the 1980s and listed on the London Stock Exchange. After financial troubles in 2017, Phoenix Asset Management acquired majority ownership (55.2%) of Hornby Hobbies. The company relocated from Margate to Hersden and Sandwich before returning to the original 1954 Margate offices. Today, Hornby Hobbies Ltd is home to 15 collectible and scale model brands, including Hornby model railways, Scalextric slot cars, Airfix model kits, and Corgi die-cast vehicles. Hornby train sets range from starter sets for beginners to detailed OO gauge models for serious hobbyists. Products include locomotives, rolling stock, track, buildings, scenery, and digital control systems.

FAQs

Grocefully is a smart grocery shopping app that automatically compares prices across all major UK supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc.) and helps you buy from the cheapest stores. We handle the complexity of split orders so you save money without any extra effort.

Our users save an average of 25-30% on their total grocery bill. For a typical £100 weekly shop, that's £20-25 in savings even after our 5% service fee. The exact amount depends on your shopping habits and the products you buy.

We currently support Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Iceland. We're constantly adding new stores and will notify you when more become available.

Grocefully is available wherever the supported supermarkets deliver. Simply enter your postcode when you sign up to check availability in your area.

Our AI scans real-time prices from all supported supermarkets every time you shop. It finds exact matches or suitable alternatives for each item on your list, then automatically selects the cheapest option while considering delivery fees and minimum order requirements.

You can set brand preferences for any item. If you prefer specific brands, Grocefully will only compare prices for those brands. You can also allow substitutions for some items while keeping others fixed.

Grocefully shows you available delivery slots from each store and helps coordinate them. We optimize to get you the most convenient delivery times while maintaining the best prices.

Yes! You can link your loyalty cards from each supermarket and continue earning points on all your purchases. We'll automatically apply any available discounts.

We charge a simple 5% service fee on your total order value. For example, if your groceries cost £100, you'll pay £5 as a service fee. This covers our costs for finding you the best prices, handling multiple orders, and providing customer support.

Our users save an average of 25-30% per shop. Even after the 5% service fee, you're still saving 20-25% on average. For a £100 shop, you'd save £25-30 and pay £5 in fees, netting you £20-25 in savings!

The service fee is automatically calculated and shown before you complete your order. It's added to your total, so you only make one payment. No hidden charges or surprises.

Yes! Grocefully is completely free to download and use. You only pay the 5% service fee when you place an order. Browse, compare prices, and create shopping lists as much as you want without any charges.

No hidden fees! You pay the grocery prices (same as shopping directly), the stores' delivery fees (if any), and our 5% service fee. That's it. We believe in complete transparency.

If you're not happy with your savings, contact our support team. We'll review your order and if we didn't save you money (after accounting for our fee), we'll refund the service fee. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Yes, you can modify orders up until the supermarket's cut-off time (usually a few hours before delivery). Any changes are automatically synced across all your orders.

If an item is out of stock, we'll automatically find the next cheapest option from another store or suggest a suitable replacement. You can set preferences for how you want us to handle substitutions.

Refunds are processed according to each supermarket's policy. If you're not satisfied with your savings, contact our support team - we offer a money-back guarantee on our service fee.

Our customer support team is here to help resolve any issues. We work directly with the supermarkets to ensure quick resolution of any problems.
