Anew company specialising in blinds was officially opened by the mayor of Blackburn with Darwen.

Councillor Salim Mulla was the special guest of honour at the opening on Whalley New Road.

Concept Blinds is the brainchild of Sarfraz Dudhwala who has over 15 years of experience in the industry.

The company produces made-to measure blinds, awnings, wood shutters, curtains and offer remote controlled motorised options.

They offer an extensive range of all the latest materials and designs with a choice of finishing touches, trims and poles. As well as offering a free measure and quotation service.

He said: “I wanted to launch something that was quite unique in that customers will be buying direct from our workshops.

“We realise how significant a window dressing can change the whole look of your room. Blinds not only control light entering the room but also the style of the room.

“Our design experts can advise and recommend perfect options for you.

“We have a wide variety of choices and up to date designs at a whole range of prices.

“What we find is that customers want something different and they want this at a reasonable cost.

“We carry out rigorous light fastness, humidity and temperature tests to ensure all of our blinds meet our customers’ expectations during the life of the product.

“Plus, all of our blinds come with a full 12 month guarantee, so you can rest assured you will receive a blind that you will be happy with for years to come from the UK’s leading made-to-order blinds company.”

Sarfraz added, “Our team have many years of experience of working within this industry.

“Every product has a different guarantee – some for one year and others for five years.

“One of the things we have learnt is how customers want an after-sales service therefore we provide a friendly comprehensive after sales service.”
