Interiors firm to expand after rapid growth under new ownership

Interiors business Castle Blinds is creating a new manufacturing facility and expanding into interior design after three years of rapid growth under new ownership.

The firm, which has been part of the city for more than 30 years, has gone from strength to strength since Myles Hayhurst took over the business in 2023.

The company is now investing in a new manufacturing unit at Mason’s Place, in Nottingham Road, while transforming its existing premises into a dedicated interiors showroom.

The expansion will allow Castle Blinds to offer a complete interior design service, alongside an extended range of blinds, curtains, soft furnishings and wallpaper.

Myles said: “Castle Blinds has always been built on quality and craftsmanship, and that won’t change.

“Even as we grow, we remain committed to making our blinds and curtains using traditional methods because what sets us apart is our quality.”

The new showroom will feature a range of premium fabric houses, including Clarke & Clarke, William Morris and the Sanderson Group, giving customers access to some of the most respected names in interior design.

Supporting this offer is an in-house interior designer with more than 25 years’ experience, providing expert guidance to customers looking to transform their homes or commercial spaces.

The business has also seen significant growth across the Midlands, particularly in Nottingham and the West Midlands, with shutters emerging as one of the most in-demand products.

Myles said: “This is an exciting time for us. We’re proud of our history, but we’re equally focused on the future – growing the business, reaching new customers, and continuing to deliver the high standards we’re known for.”
