OUR STORY

 “PANACHE BLINDS ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING UNBEATABLE VALUE – THROUGH QUALITY BLINDS, A PERSONAL, FRIENDLY SERVICE AND GREAT PRICES” – Carl Gee, Owner of Panache Blinds

Many Years ago we started like most people with a dream to make a business work. That dream was to become self employed after many years working for other people or companies.

But how did it start? Well over 20 years ago it was possible to work your local markets and advertise in your local ads papers and that is exactly what we did. From one little market stall in Stockport, England.

Armed with a few quickly made blinds and sample books we took the town by storm. We then branched out into Hyde, Manchester, Ashton-under-lyne and Oldham.

Times have changed and we moved into shops and a factory as time went by but sadly the internet changed the way people shopped as customers started to use the our showrooms as the free viewing area for the internet companies. Something had to change.. 

Something had to change so, we have now turned the clock back some 20 years and started all over again. the business has moved into direct sales with pop up shops at super markets and events. The shops have gone but we still make our own blinds in our own workshop.

Social media, Pop up shops and home visits is the future for our local business as the internet is mostly geared up for large companies these days.

We move forward and adapt as always..
