A Blindin’ Family Business Talbot & Son are Britain’s flagship dealer for the market leading ‘Luxaflex’ blinds and their showroom was recently featured in the UK industry’s trade magazine ‘Openings’. Andy Talbot said
“It’s great for the Isle of Man to be a step ahead of the UK – being chosen as the first Luxaflex Gallery dealer was a great honour – we are one of only a few across the UK – and this not only brings benefits to our business but also to our customers as we shall always be the first retailer to receive the latest Luxaflex products”. Andy’s dad Bob started the business over 40 years ago - initially working from his garage. As the business grew he asked his son Andy to join him and then Andy’s brother-in-law Ian Large joined the business. The company is now run by Andy and Ian who employ eight people ‘some of who have been with us over 20 years ‘says Andy. The ground floor of their Derby Square showroom displays the stunning range of innovative Luxaflex blinds in the Gallery section and covers the full price spectrum from budget to cutting edge fashion, embracing the latest technological advances in both materials and operating systems – and if you thought blinds were just devices to block out the sun, then it’s time to think again! Whether your taste is solid wood venetians in oak, ash beech or walnut; roman, roller or verticals in an astounding range of fabrics and colours or the latest trend of shutters in a vast array of shapes and woods, Talbot & Son have something for you. With this respected Manx company who have been established on the

This combined with a superb range of tracks, poles and accessories means that they are able to offer the complete window furnishing service.
