Bus services in the Glenorie area commenced in the 1920s when George Deaman began operating.
In 1952 Deaman sold out to Roy Baxter and George Tucknott.
In 1975 the business was sold to Laurie and Keith Todd with 16 buses.
[2][3] In December 2001 Glenorie was purchased by National Express but the business was not merged with its neighbouring Westbus operation.
[6][7] The Hillsbus brand actually existed since 2002 as a joint venture between Westbus and Glenorie.
