We receive many phone calls every day from customers asking us all sorts of questions relating to their conservatory blinds requirements, fabric choice, how the conservatory blinds work etc. We’re very happy to answer any questions that any of our current or future customers might have and all our staff are very knowledgeable about our pleated conservatory blinds, something that can not necessarily be said about the larger conservatory blinds companies in the market.  One lady recently asked us “As you’re a small family-owned business are you more expensive than the big boys?”. Our answer was a resounding “NO”, for these reasons:

We manufacture all our pleated conservatory blinds in our own workshops thereby keeping the cost and quality of manufacturing under control and avoiding having to pay another company to make the blinds for us.  You might think it strange that a conservatory blinds company that claims to be an expert might not manufacture their own blinds, but it happens.  We should know – many blinds companies ask us to make their pleated conservatory blinds for them because they recognise how good we are!

With High Streets up and down the country beginning to look the same and large supermarkets sprouting up everywhere, there seems to be a trend of late for customers to want to support their smaller, local traders.  As a family business we back those smaller, independent, businesses all the way as we know they can offer their customers things that larger companies simply can not.  Of course, we want to be successful, but we don’t overcharge for our conservatory blinds, preferring to give our customers a great deal, whilst we still remain profitable.

So, the lady was very happy.  We called to see her, gave her a sensible price for her conservatory blinds (which she told us was far cheaper than a bigger company), she placed her order and is now enjoying her beautiful conservatory blinds in the knowledge that she has supported an independent family business.
