From the Editor
Welcome to the Blinds & Shutters Buyers’ Guide
2024 the only UK directory for blinds, shutters,
awnings and grilles. This is the essential guide for
manufacturers, retailers and specifiers such as
architects and designers, to source components
and finished products,.
Each year I write a little note about the events
of the past year, and how they have affected the
industry. Like most my age we only seem to recall
the difficulties. However, it is always good to read
how the industry circumnavigates each situation.
One thing is clear, the professionals in this industry
are adept at custom solutions,
This edition of the Buyers’ Guide contains
useful and practical information, such as the
revised Glossary that starts on page 5. On page
26 over 2000 people visited the Smart Buildings
Show 2023. Features on new products start on
page 28, whilst the BSI revised some of the
Relevant Standards, and this section can be found
on page 109.
The A-Z Section and Buyers’ Guide Section
provides information relating to 450 businesses
and 50 different product types. Each year we
review the categories in the Buyers’ Guide section.
This year we have added the following headings to
make the guide more comprehensive: In the
INTERNAL section, Solar binds has been added.
We hope that you find this year’s directory an
invaluable aid to sourcing suppliers to provide the
solution to your specific needs.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
all the businesses that have contributed to the
completion of this directory. If you have any
comments, suggestions or would like to be
included in the next edition, please email me at
b.williams@turretgroup.com
The Blinds & Shutters team wish you all the
very best for 2024!
